What is your Gospel?

Romans 16:25 Paul tells us, "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ. . ." What was Paul referring to as "my gospel"? We know that Paul preached "Christ and him crucified", as well as "all have sinned" and that "the wages of sin is death." When one looks at the words of Jesus Himself, you find that Paul was right on track. How does that line up with the Gospel preached or lived by many today? Not very well. God does not promise us a life of health, wealth, and prosperity if we serve Him. To the contrary, His Word confirms that if we serve Him we are guaranteed to experience turmoil, persecution, and difficulty. The Gospel we are instructed to proclaim is one of a hope in heaven. How do we attain this hope? First we must realize and admit that we have broken God's commands and that that makes us guilty in God's eyes. Secondly, we must ask God to forgive us for sinning. Thirdly, we must accept Jesus'payment of our punishment. Lastly, we must place ourselves in God's control. Is that the gospel that you live by and share with others. To ignore the gospel of the Bible is to condemn yourself to an eternity of punishment in the lake of fire. It is essential that we share the truth, not what sounds good or makes us popular. So, what is your gospel?
