The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

James 1:22

Title: Do not merely listen to the word


As we take in the word of God, ideas are created in our minds, and these mental pictures generate an image of our selves in obedience or in defiance to what the Lord desires of us, a righteous life. The person, in whose being God’s instructions are not translated into holiness, is counted among those who have miscalculated a false likeness of security by their misleading reasoning and arguments, and so can not expect any blessing in their undertakings.
