NO OTHER POWER THAN THE GOSPEL

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
The term “gospel” simply means good news. In this context we are talking about the good news of Jesus. It is all about what Jesus came to do in His redemptive work. His death and resurrection is what constitutes the gospel. This is the message the whole world need to hear.
From our opening scripture we are told that the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes. Now the writer uses the word “the” for the gospel as the power of God.” The” is a definite article. It implies that there is no other power to save men. God’s only power to save men is the gospel of grace.
Grace is the gospel; and it is the power of God to heal, deliver, and prosper men. Political power cannot save men. Eastern meditation cannot save men. Dieting cannot save men. Medicine is not the power of God to save. United Nations is not the power of God. God’s only power is the gospel.
And this power to save, heal and deliver is what has been entrusted to us. We are now custodians of this good news. It is our responsibility to see to it that all men in every nation hear the gospel. The power of the gospel is released through preaching. If we will invest time and money into preaching the gospel, more souls will be saved and transformed.
The gospel has power to save the worst of criminals and chief of sinners. No one is beyond the saving power of the gospel. Get to know this gospel; understand it ; and preach it to men; and invest into the gospel financially. We have to spread the gospel all over the world.
There is no other power than the gospel of Jesus Christ. The power is not in eloquence. The power is not in psychology. Don’t preach philosophy; don’t preach human wisdom. The gospel is God’s only power to save. Preach it and you will see His power saving men.
