For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith… (Romans 1:16-17).
From our opening verse we observe that first, the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, that is, the Word of God concerning Jesus Christ, and the salvation
that He brought, is the power of God to save men. His power, to bring those who
believe out of sin, into the life of righteousness, is encapsulated in the
Gospel of His grace. Secondly, His righteousness is also revealed in the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. Meaning that, there’s no other way to learn about, receive or
understand the righteousness of God outside the Gospel.
Then in 2 Timothy 1:10, the Apostle Paul shares another beautiful
thought: through the Gospel, life and immortality have been brought to light.
What kind of life is he referring to? It’s the God-type of life; the life that
makes men sons of God: "…and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son
hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (1 John
5:11-12).
This is the overcoming life that makes us superior to Satan, darkness,
disease, sickness, failure, defeat, and death; it’s a life that’s not subject
to poverty. This transcendent life, along with the gift of
righteousness, was delivered to us in Christ, through the Gospel.
Confession
The transcendent life of God and the supernatural
effect of His righteousness are working vitally in my spirit, soul, and body! I
experience growth, development, progress, deliverance, prosperity, and health
because I’m walking in the reality of who I am in Christ, taking full advantage
of His grace and awesome presence in my life. Glory to God!
