Our Gospel - Part 2: Not in Word only But in Power
Not in word only
Our gospel is not good theories, good ideas, opinions or simply beliefs that we hold. Our gospel is not “with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power” 1Corinthians 2:4. The purpose of this is so “your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” 1Corinthians 2:5. Our gospel does not come “in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit” 1Thessalonians 1:5. The gospel needs to be preached with words, however, we are to speak the gospel like Jesus did, “as one having authority, and not as the scribes” Mark 1:22. For “the kingdom of God is not in word but in power” 1 Corinthians 4:20. It is not simply an intellectual exercise as we teach the people and “preach in Jesus the resurrection from the dead” Acts 4:2. This gospel which is to be our gospel, is a gospel of power, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” Romans 1:16.
Power
The word power is the Greek word dunamis which means: miraculous power, power in action, higher forces working in this lower world. Our gospel has power. There is power to transform people’s lives, producing in them a new creation (2 Cor.5:17). When Jesus commissioned the apostles “that repentance and remission of sins should preached in His name to all nations” He told them that first they must “tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endured with power from on high” Luke 24:47, 49. We need to be clothed with the power of God to effectively preach repentance and remission of sins to the nations! When the apostles were sent out to preach the gospel it is recorded that, “they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs” Mark 16:20. We need to preach the Word and expect powerful signs and wonders to confirm that word to the hearers so that their faith is in the power of God!
