The Gospel - The Power Of God

"I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."
Romans 1:16

God wills for all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.  He has chosen to accomplish this through His Word, allowing human beings the freedom to reject Him and His Word, and to choose sin, death, hell, and complete separation from their loving Creator.

His Word of Gospel is an awesome power, creating faith and spiritual life in hearts dead from sin and rebellion against God.

Do not insulate yourself from this Gospel, this power of God for salvation!  It will be preached tomorrow in the sermon and celebrated in the Sacrament of Christ's body and blood!  Hear it, believe it, and rejoice in God's eternal salvation!

O Lord, sometimes I think I can sustain my faith in You all by myself.  I forget that You are my Savior, that without the power of Your Gospel, I would still be in unbelief and condemnation.  Help me to remember to take time to allow the power of Your Gospel to be at work in my heart and mind!  Amen.
