The Priceless Gospel, One That Is Truly Binding

After listening to many messages, we need to uprightly ask ourselves these questions: 1. What is gospel to you? 2. How precious is this gospel to you? (are you willing to give up your personal desires just to pursue it? How much do you need it?) 3. Are you bound to this gospel like the silken fetter? A real and progressive faith-living is one that is constantly experiencing AND confirming the work of Holy Spirit inside us. To a born again man, the gospel is not mere knowledge but the heart of God, i.e. constantly loving, tearing down the old self and rebuilding the new thinking and living system in us. This is because the working of God in people He loves is like "Silken fetters", "binding" our hearts to His love and leading, so that we are walking closer and closer with Him, and desiring to be in sync with His heart more and more. Therefore, ask yourself, is the gospel you have come to know - one that is truly binding? A gospel that is truly binding is not cheap nor easy, instead, it is priceless, the truth, and sometimes giving us difficult moments and putting us in paradoxical situations - yet with it comes the glory of God, crown of life and inner strength from the power of Holy Spirit to walk through each difficult moments.

A time of spiritual warfare and watchfulness.

  • Power of various idols:
    • Ancestors and household gods
    • Good luck & prosperity
  • Pressure to stand by the Christian faith
  • Temptations abound
  • Internal struggles (loneliness, discouragement)
  • Stress to evangelise
  • Happy atmosphere must not distract us from God’s purpose
  • Be set apart and vigilant

 

<Ephesians 6:18> And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 

 

<2 Timothy 4> 

2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

 

<1 Peter 2>

11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. 12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 

 

Also a time of opportunities.

1) To demonstrate Christian love.

2) To share the gospel.
