Whole Gospel?
By Ron on Sep 10, 2014 in Uncategorized
But even if one doesn’t accept a lively expression of the faith in the world or an optimistic eschatology, it should be clear that everything we say and do is influential in others and either hinders the Gospel or encourages it. Jesus did not only preach: He lived (Luke 7:35 (18-35)). Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. What if Christ’s people understood His Word so well that they applied it to everything? (1 Cor 10:31). Wouldn’t that multiply the effect of hearing the Word? Add to that seeing good fruit from its practice, and now you have a system of evangelization that works everywhere, all the time, in everything you do. In fact, Christianity has a better mousetrap. Because its God is the Lord, it must produce better fruit (Deut 4:6). So then, what keeps us from learning how to think Biblically about and apply our faith to everything?
Is a work that helps people systematically to do this supportable?
