3 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39306 | ||
The Gospel is the good news OF salvation. It is based on historical Facts 1. Christ died for our sins 2. Christ was buried 3. Christ rose from the dead 1 Cor. 15:1-5 if these three facts are not true, we have no gospel. (Barnhouse) The Source of the Gospel is God. (Heb 1.1) there can be no Gospel, not even a Gospel of God, apart from that which concerns His Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. Calvin in his comentary on Rom 1:3 said "This is a remarkable passage, by which we are taught that the whole gospel is included in Christ, so that if any removes one step from Christ, he withdraws himself from the gospel. For since he is the living and express image of the Father, it is no wonder, that he alone is set before us as one to whom our whole faith is to be directed and in whom it is to center. " |

In your reply to Searcher, you quoted the reference he gave you in answer. The Gospel is the message of the means, NOT the means. Here is Rom. 10:8-17 in modern English : 8 No, the word is very near you, ON YOUR OWN LIPS and in YOUR HEART! It is this word, which is the burden of our preaching, and it says, in effect, "If you openly admit by your own lips that Jesus is the LORD, and if you believe in YOUR HEART that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." For it is believing IN THE HEART that makes a man righteous before God, and it is stating his belief by his own lips that confirms his salvation. And the scripture says: "Hos-soever believes in him shall not be disapointed." And that "whosoever' means anyone, without disinction between Jew or Greek. For all have the same LORD, whose boundless resources are sufficient for all who turn to him in faith. For: Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. Now how can they call on one in whom they have never believed? How can they believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how can they hear unless someone proclaims Him? and Who will go to tell them unless he is sent? as the scripure puts it : How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! Yet not all have responded to the gospel. Isaiah asks, you remember, LORD, who hath believed our report? FAITH, YOU SEE, CAN ONLY COME FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS THE WORD OF GOD. Philips p.328,329 |
