God Has Manifested Life Through The Gospel
“Paul, a servant of God,
and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the
acknowledging of the truth
which is after godliness;
In hope of eternal life, which God, that
cannot lie, promised before the world began;
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching”
(Titus
1:1-3).
Have you ever thought about God this way? He cannot
lie and has manifested eternal life through preaching. The
preaching of the Word
is vital. That’s
the only way
we bring eternal life to others. We must preach the Word, because it
sparks up faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the
Word of God (Romans
10:17).
People can
only have faith for
salvation when
they hear the gospel; faith cannot come by signs or wonders. You do
not have faith by
seeing anything. You
have to hear
a message
to have faith. There is a need for the message before faith is sparked up in the heart.
Suppose
I show you a parcel;
you can’t have
faith just by seeing it if I don’t say anything
about it. I may
have to speak before you even understand that I plan
to give you the
parcel. The same
goes for the
preaching of the gospel. The preaching
of the gospel is the only way a
man can have faith for eternal life. He may see Jesus face to face and still not have faith.
Faith can only come
to you when you hear the message.
People around us who have not heard the message of
Jesus Christ cannot have faith until we tell them.
We must tell them about the gospel. You don’t
need a pulpit to preach! Philip
did not need a pulpit.
God said, “Go near and join thyself to this chariot,” and he obeyed, witnessed
to the eunuch
and eventually led him to Christ. This eunuch
became an ambassador of the Kingdom of God to Ethiopia. That was how the gospel
first came to Africa.
