Presenting the Gospel

How would you tell individuals that they need Jesus? Do you reveal to them that Jesus adores them and that He needs to improve their lives? Do you tell individuals that Jesus can pardon them of their transgressions? Do you reveal to them that Jesus has an awesome arrangement for their lives and that they ought to have faith in Him and ask Jesus into their souls? Assuming this is the case, you might do mischief to their profound well being. The truth is out, hurt. Allow me to clarify.

The Law

The Law must go before the gospel. The Law must start things out and execute the individual with the goal that the gospel can make him alive. The Law must convict the individual of his wrongdoings so he will need salvation. It is basic. You lecture the Law first, then the gospel. You should make individuals eager for the water of life before they will need to drink. The Law makes them parched.

On the off chance that a specialist revealed to you that you expected to take a few pills for two months yet didn't disclose to you why, OK take them? On the off chance that he revealed to you that the pills will make you feel much improved and that your life will be progressively lovely, then would you take them? Consider the possibility that you previously felt fine and your life was extraordinary. What then? You may state, "Well, much appreciated. Possibly I need them, perhaps I don't. I'll consider it." Then suppose you tried the pills out and you didn't see any adjustment by the way you felt and your life didn't change either, then what? You'd quit taking them because having tried them out and seeing no change, no motivation to proceed, you'd stop.

Then again, suppose that your primary care physician disclosed to you that you have a malady that will kill you in a half year and that your passing would be moderate and difficult. He then gives you the pills and says, "However these pills can fix you and spare your life. I need you to take these." Would you then take them? Obviously! This is because you would perceive the frantic circumstance you are in. You would perceive your incredible need and need the fix.

That is the motivation behind the Law. It demonstrates to us our wrongdoing. "...I would not have realized what sin was aside from through the law. For I would not have realized what desiring truly was if the law had not stated, Do not want," (Rom. 7:7). Then, since we understand we have trespassed against God, the Law demonstrates to us that we are under God's fury: "...because the law brings fierceness," (Rom. 4:15). The Law brings both physical and profound passing since it engages in to execute us: "The sting of death is sin, and the intensity of wrongdoing is the law," (1 Cor. 15:56). The introduction of the Law should demonstrate an individual that he has an incredible need by exhibiting that he has damaged the desire of God and that he will need to confront the horrendous punishment of God on the Day of Wrath (Rom. 2:5). If you don't do this when exhibiting the gospel you are not displaying the genuine explanation behind the gospel and this can ruin an individual from truly coming to Christ.

God introduced the Law before He exhibited the gospel - which is as it should be. "Therefore the Law has turned into our coach to lead us to Christ, that we might be advocated by confidence," (Gal. 3:24). God's Law is heavenly and upright: "So then, the Law is blessed, and the instruction is sacred and honest and great," (Rom. 7:12). Have you violated God's Holy Law? Have you at any point lied, taken, bamboozled, or been irate with somebody unreasonably? Assuming this is the case, then you are a lying, taking conning, killer according to God since you have submitted those wrongdoings. Like it or not, simply doing those things a tad qualifies you for the entire discipline of the Law. "Reviled is each man who doesn't comply with everything written in the book of the law to perform them," (Gal. 3:10). And furthermore, "For whoever keeps the entire law but then falters in a single point, he has turned out to be liable of all. 11 For He who stated, Do not submit infidelity, additionally stated, Do not submit murder,"(James 2:10-11). God is heavenly and upright and He will not the slightest bit represent anything other than supreme flawlessness and heavenliness in His quality. This is the reason the Holy and Infinite God of the universe should and will rebuff any individual who has trespassed against Him by violating His sacred Law.

The Gospel

In light of the cruelty and truth of the Law, we are broken before God and perceive that we can do nothing to satisfy Him since we can't keep the Law of God consummately: "For us all have turned out to resemble one who is unclean, and all our exemplary deeds resemble a messy garment..."(Isaiah 64:6). Therefore, the main thing left is to is gone to the cross. This is the reason it says in Gal. 3:24 "Therefore the Law has turned into our mentor to lead us to Christ, that we might be defended by confidence." The Law pushes us towards Jesus. It propels us to go to the one in particular who can pardon us of our wrongdoings. It breaks us with the goal that we are discovered miserable inside and we then go to another to convey us from the fierceness of God. This is the reason Jesus came. This is the thing that the gospel is about. Jesus passed on the cross to deflect the fury of God from miscreants. Therefore, the best way to be "spared" from the anger of God, is to trust in Christ. This is being spared. It intends to be spared from God's fury: "Substantially more then, having now been supported by His blood, we will be spared from the rage of God through Him, (Rom. 5:9). The gospel isn't about a "decent" God who is asking individuals to come to Him since He cherishes the miscreant yet despises the transgression. (The Bible never says that God adores the miscreant however detests the transgression.) in actuality:

"The pretentious will not remain before Thine eyes; Thou dost abhor all who do evildoing," (Psalm 5:5).

"There are six things which the Lord despises, indeed, seven which are a horrifying presence to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed honest blood, 18 A heart that devises mischievous plans, feet that run quickly to malicious, 19 A bogus observer who expresses untruths, and one who spreads difficulty among brothers," (Prov. 6:16-19).

Such scriptural instructing isn't incongruity with most mainstream Christian theology today since it doesn't present God as the "decent" God that is asking individuals to come to Him. Rather, in all actuality God is Holy and He will rebuff the miscreant. However, that isn't every last bit of it. God is likewise love (1 John 4:8) which is the reason He sent His Son, to spare us: "For God didn't send the Son into the world to pass judgment on the world, however, that the world ought to be spared through Him," (John 3:17).

Along these lines, when you present the gospel to somebody, ensure you lecture the Law of God first. Give that Law a chance to take a shot at the individual to whom you talk. Give it a chance to tear the heart open so the seeds of the gospel can flourish. Give the Law of God a chance to make the miscreant mindful that He has trespassed against God and that there is a coming judgment as a result of it. Then, when he is prepared, reveals to him that "God so adored the world, that He gave His lone conceived Son, that whoever has confidence in Him ought not to die, yet have endless life," (John 3:16). Inform him regarding how Jesus who is God in tissue (John 1:1,14) had the option to live the Law splendidly (1 Pet. 2:22), fulfill the Father in paradise (1 John 2:2), provide for us His very uprightness, (Phil. 3:9), and convey us from the Judgment to come (Rom. 14:10; Heb. 9:27). Furthermore, when you do as such, do it with elegance: "Maintain intelligence toward untouchables, taking advantage of the chance. 6 Let your discourse consistently be with elegance, prepared, in a manner of speaking, with salt, so you may know how you ought to react to every individual," (Col. 4:5-6).
