What Happened To The Gospel?

 

Where did John 3:16 go? Is it missing from our sermons?

Why won't preachers preach the true gospel anymore? What happened to the gospel of Jesus Christ? I believe that the enemy has gotten people tangled up in denomniationalism,and the love of money,and prestige,and titles. People are more concerned with "their" anointing,and "their" title,than they are about presenting the gospel. The Word of God clearly tells us that we are to preach the gospel. What is the gospel? The way of the cross is the gospel. We can't get away from the fact that Jesus was beaten,and took many stripes upon His holy back for our healing. Have we forgotten that Jesus suffered,and died a cruel death on the cross of Calvary so that we wouldn't have to spend an eternity in an ever-burning HELL!!!? Have we forgotten that He was buried in a borrowed tomb,and on the third day arose from the grave? Why are people watering down the gospel? Why are people sugar-coating the fact that if we don't ask God to forgive us for our sins,and accept Jesus as Lord,and Savior that we are going to an awful,and eternal place known as HELL!!!!?  why doesn't anyone preach the gospel anymore? What is going on ? I tell you the truth we as ministers better get to preaching the truth! God is going to hold us ministers accountable for the souls of the people that we are preaching to. We must preach the truth!! Let's get back to Romans 3:23 For all have sinned,and come short of the glory of God. We must tell people that they must first realize that they are sinners,and are in a need of a Savior. How will they know unless they hear the truth? For faith cometh by hearing,and hearing by the Word of God! How about Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death;but, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

We can't just let people think that they can just continue on in their sins without any consequences! There are great consequences! Their is a HELL to sun,and a Heaven to gain,and we must warn them! We must tell them the truth! How about Romans 5:8 But, God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Well that is GOOD NEWS!!! Let's tell the truth! Jesus will save you,He will forgive you, He will heal you, He will deliver you, glory to God, He will be our everything, we just have to ask for forgiveness of our sins,and turn from them,and follow after Him, we must accept His sacrificial death on the cross for our salvation, we must accept the stripes on His back for our healing,and we must let Him lead,guide,and direct us in all that we do. He will then be our Lord! How about Romans 10:9-10  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto rigtheousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. What about 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful, and just to forgive us our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness! 

Have we forgotten what the gospel is? Gospel-it means good news, are we telling people the good news about Jesus? Are we so busy telling people how to be prosperous, how to be blessed, how to get this, and how to get that, that we have forgotten how to lead someone to the Lord?!! God forbid!! We need to get back to the basics of Salvation, the chief cornerstone of our salvation, which is our Lord Jesus Christ! Let's go back to the complete truth of the Word of God. The Lord wants us to prosper, even as our souls prospers but, salvation, is first, and foremost. What good does it do for a man to gain the whole world, and to lose his own soul? It profits nothing. It is of the utmost importance, and it is high time to get back to the basics, to learn again, how to preach the gospel, how to praise, how to worship Him with all that is in us, we are in the last of the last days,and we need to get down to business,and quit fooling around,and playing church! glory to God, it is time to get back to the plan of Salvation, it is time to tell folks how to get the victory over the enemy of their souls! How to receive the Baptism in the Holy Ghost, how to lead others to Christ! Nothing else matters! Let's put away our bottles, get out of our diapers, and grow up in God! It is definitely high time! 

He is looking for true ministers, and servants to serve Him, in spirit, and in truth, true worshipers. Let's get back to the gospel, it is the only thing that will save a soul, deliver a drug addict, restore a marriage, bring a lost child home, heal our bodies, keep us out of Hell, and get us into Heaven. Lord help us to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to live it daily and never to be ashamed of the bloody way of the old rugged cross. There is only one way to Heaven, it doesn't matter what the media says, what the politicians say, what the scientists of our day say, what the philosophers say, there is only one way,and that is Jesus,and that is the gospel! Let's preach it! Seems to me that some preachers are afraid to use the words sin, gospel, blood, forgiveness, judgement, or hell. They seem to be more concerned with being popular, and making sure that everyone is having a good time at church. We are supposed to go to church to worship our Holy God! The gospel is supposed to be preached, and then of course He allows us to be in His holy presence, and He blesses us which is just icing on our cake. We are not supposed to be going to church to have a good time, I hear that so much lately, oh we had a good time, doesn't seem like anyone is getting saved, healed, delivered ,or restored, but everyone had a good time after they worked up some type of feeling or emotion. We must at all cost bet back to the gospel, it works. Everything else is just idle words that don't break the chains of sin. Nothing replaces the gospel of Jesus Christ, nothing. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOSPEL???!!
