Ro 1:1 ¶ Paul, a servant
of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God,
Ro 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with
my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I
make mention of you always in my prayers;
Ro 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to
preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Ro 1:16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek.
GOSPEL
- euaggelion,
yoo-ang-ghel'-ee-on - a good message, i.e.
the gospel:--gospel [OR,
euaggelizo,
yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo - to announce good news ("evangelize") especially
the gospel:--declare, bring (declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the
gospel).]
The word for
GOSPEL
is made up of
these words:
eu,
yoo
= neuter of a primary eus (good); (adverbially)
well:--good, well (done). [cf. English (40% of our words come from the
Greek) - eulogy, euphony, euphemism, euphoria]
aggelos,
ang'-el-os
= a messenger; especially an "angel"; by implication, a pastor:--angel,
messenger.
THE
GOSPEL:
1Co 15:1-5 ¶ 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: And that he was seen
(alive).
THE
GOSPEL WAS ORDAINED BY GOD TO COME TO FULFILLMENT AT A CERTAIN TIME:
Ge 3:15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall
bruise him on the heel."
Lu 4:17-21 And
the book of the prophet Isaiah was
handed to Him. And He opened the book, and found the place where it was
written, "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO
PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET
FREE THOSE WHO ARE DOWNTRODDEN, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."
And He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and
the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon Him. And He began to say
to them, "Today this Scripture has been
fulfilled in your hearing." (See Mt 11:5; Lk 4:18; Lk
7:22)
Ga 4:4 But
when the fulness of the time came, God
sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He
might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the
adoption as sons.
Mr 1:1 ¶
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God.
Mr 1:15 and saying, "The
time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and
believe in the gospel."
Ga 1:11-12 For I would have you
know, brethren, that the gospel
which was preached by me is not according to
man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it,
but [I received it] through a revelation of
Jesus Christ.
Ga 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing
that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham,
[saying], "ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED
IN YOU."
1Pe 1:10-12 ¶ As to this salvation,
the prophets who prophesied of the grace that [would come] to you
made careful search and inquiry, seeking to
know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as
He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
It was revealed to them that they
were not serving themselves, but you, in
these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached
the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things
into which angels long to look.
THE
GOSPEL IS THE GOSPEL OF POWER:
Ro 1:16 ¶ For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it
is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ro 16:25 ¶
Now to him that is of power to stablish you
according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also [trusted],
after that ye heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye
were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise
1Th 1:5 For
our gospel came not unto you in word only, but
also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as
ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
2Th 2:14 Whereunto
he called you by our gospel, to the
obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by
the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and
hath brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel
2Ti 2:8 ¶ Remember that Jesus Christ
of the seed of David was raised from the dead
according to my gospel:
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord
endureth for ever. And this is the word which
by the gospel is preached unto you.
THE
GOSPEL WAS PREACHED BY JESUS:
Mt 4:23 ¶ And Jesus went about all
Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching
the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mt 9:35 ¶ And Jesus went about all
the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Mr 1:14 ¶ Now after that John was
put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God
Lu 9:6 And they departed, and went
through the towns, preaching the gospel,
and healing every where.
Lu 20:1 ¶ And it came to pass,
[that] on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and
preached the gospel, the chief
priests and the scribes came upon [him] with the elders
THE
GOSPEL WAS PAUL'S WHOLE LIFE:
Ro 1:1 ¶ Paul, a servant of Jesus
Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of God,
Ro 1:9 For God is my witness,
whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his
Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my
prayers
Ro 10:15 And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things!
Ro 15:16 That I should be the
minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the
Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Ro 15:19-20 Through mighty signs and
wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and
round about unto Illyricum, I have fully
preached the gospel of Christ. Yea,
so have I strived to preach the gospel,
not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's
foundation
1Co 1:17 ¶ For
Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the
gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should
be made of none effect.
1Co 9:14-18 Even so hath
the Lord ordained that they which preach the
gospel should live of the gospel. For though I preach the gospel,
I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea,
woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will,
a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed
unto me. What is my reward then? [Verily] that,
when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel
of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
2Co 8:18 And we have sent with him
the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel
throughout all the churches
2Co 11:7 Have I committed an
offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because
I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
Eph 6:19 ¶ And for me, that
utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly,
to make known the mystery of the gospel
1Th 2:4 But as
we were allowed of God to be put in trust with
the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which
trieth our hearts.
1Ti 1:11
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed
God, which was committed to my trust.
THE
GOSPEL IS TO BE PREACHED TO THE WHOLE WORLD:
Mt 24:14 And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the
end come.
Mt 26:13 Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in
the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this woman hath
done, be told for a memorial of her.
Mr 13:10 And
the gospel must first be published among all
nations.
Mr 14:9 Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached
throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall
be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Mr 16:15 And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature.
Ac 8:25 And they, when they had
testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and
preached the gospel in many villages of the
Samaritans.
Ac 14:7 And there
they preached the gospel.
Ac 14:21 And when they had
preached the gospel to that city, and
had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and [to] Iconium, and
Antioch, {had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples}
Ac 15:7 And when there had been much
disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know
how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that
the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of
the gospel, and believe.
Ac 16:10 And after he had seen the
vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering
that the Lord had called us for to preach the
gospel unto them.
Ro 1:15 So, as much as in me is,
I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are
at Rome also.
2Co 10:14 For we stretch not
ourselves beyond [our measure], as though we reached not unto you: for
we are come as far as to you also in [preaching]
the gospel of Christ:
2Co 10:16
To preach the gospel in the [regions] beyond you,
[and] not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
{line: or, rule}
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh
preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive
another spirit, which ye have not received, or
another gospel, which ye have not
accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
Ga 2:7 But contrariwise, when they
saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was
committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be
fellowheirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel
Re 14:6
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto
them that dwell on the earth, and
to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people
THE
GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED TO THOSE WHO WILL NOT BE SAVED:
Mr 16:15 And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature.
2Co 4:3-4 But
if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are
lost: In whom the god of this
world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of
the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto
them.
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking
vengeance on them that know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
Heb 4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with
faith in them that heard [it].
1Pe 4:6 For
the gospel has for this purpose been preached
even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men,
they may live in the spirit according to [the will of] God.
1Pe 4:17 For the time [is come] that
judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us,
what shall the end [be] of them that obey not
the gospel of God?
THE
GOSPEL HAS A COUNTERFEIT:
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh
preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive
another spirit, which ye have not received, or
another gospel, which ye have not
accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
Ga 1:6-9 ¶ I marvel that ye are so
soon removed from him that called you into
the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another;
but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ. But
though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Ga 2:4-5 But [it was] because of the
false brethren who had sneaked in
to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. But we did not
yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so
that the truth of the gospel might remain with
you.
Ga 2:14 But when I saw that they
walked not uprightly according to the truth
of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou,
being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews,
why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Php 1:17 But the other of love,
knowing that I am set for the defence of the
gospel.
THE
GOSPEL IS A GOSPEL OF FELLOWSHIP AMONG BELIEVERS:
Ro 15:29 And I am sure that, when I
come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of
the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
1Co 4:15 For though ye have ten
thousand instructors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in
Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the
gospel.
1Co 9:12 If others be partakers of
[this] power over you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used
this power; but suffer all things, lest we
should hinder the gospel of Christ.
1Co 9:23 And
this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be
partaker thereof with [you].
2Co 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of
this ministration they glorify God for your
professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your]
liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men]
Ga 2:2 And I went up by revelation,
and communicated unto them that gospel which
I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of
reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Php 1:5 For
your fellowship in the gospel from
the first day until now
Php 1:27 ¶ Only
conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the
gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain
absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one
mind striving together for the faith of the
gospel;
Php 2:22 But ye know the proof of
him, that, as a son with the father, he hath
served with me in the gospel.
Php 4:3 And I intreat thee also,
true yokefellow, help those women which
laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with]
other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life.
Php 4:15 Now ye Philippians know
also, that in the beginning of the gospel,
when I departed from Macedonia, no church
communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
1Th 2:8 So being affectionately
desirous of you, we were willing to have
imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls,
because ye were dear unto us.
1Th 3:2 And sent Timotheus, our
brother, and minister of God, and our
fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to
comfort you concerning your faith
Phm 1:13 Whom I would have retained
with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in
the bonds of the gospel
THE
GOSPEL BRINGS SUFFERING:
Mr 8:35 For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose
his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mr 10:29 And Jesus answered and
said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my sake, and the gospel's,
Ac 20:22-25 "And now, behold, bound
in spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not
knowing what will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit
solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that
bonds and afflictions await me. "But
I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself,
in order that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from
the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God. "And
now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about preaching the
kingdom, will see my face no more.
Ga 4:13 Ye know how
through infirmity of the flesh I preached the
gospel unto you at the first.
Php 1:12 ¶ But I would ye should
understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen
out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel
1Th 2:2 But even after that we had
suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi,
we were bold in our God to speak unto you the
gospel of God with much contention.
1Th 2:9 For ye remember, brethren,
our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be
chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto
you the gospel of God.
2Ti 1:8 Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but
be thou partaker of the afflictions of the
gospel according to the power of God
Col 1:24-27
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for
your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body (which is the
church) in filling up that which is lacking
in Christ's afflictions. Of [this church] I was made a minister
according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, that
I might fully carry out the [preaching of] the word of God, [that is,]
the mystery which has been hidden from the
[past] ages and generations; but has now been manifested to His
saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of
the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory.
THE
GOSPEL IS A GOSPEL OF ASSURANCE:
Col 1:5 For
the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel
Col 1:21-23 And although you were
formerly alienated and hostile in mind, [engaged] in evil deeds, yet He has
now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present
you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- If ye
continue in the faith
grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel,
which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is
under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.
THIS STUDY WAS PRESENTED TO
AMAZING GRACE CHURCH
WHICH MEETS IN OUR HOME.
