Also, may I say, Seeker, that neither of those passages is presenting the Gospel. Those statements were made to people who had already accepted the Gospel and to those considering it. What is the Gospel? "I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, …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: (1 Corinthians 15). Jesus says we must repent and believe the gospel (Mark 1:15). We must also trust in him (Psalm 37:5; John 14:1). When we do, he changes us, so we are fit for heaven. He also gives us new desires and a new attitude. He gives us the Holy Spirit, and that opens up for us a whole new world of understanding. God may use someone to point out his word to you, but it is he himself who makes it meaningful. |
