Gospel According to Paul

Grace Church: Roanoke, VA > Sermons
The best way to know what the Gospel is, is to see what the Bible has to say about the Gospel. Paul preached the Gospel of Grace and the others preached the Gospel of the Kingdom.

This caused a problem: Acts 15 and Galatians 2. The solution was 2:9 … that we (Paul, Barnabas) should go unto the heathen (Gentiles), and they (apostles) unto the circumcision (Jews). see Acts 13:46

Some verses in Acts 14:7,21, 15:7, 16:10, 20:24 about the Gospel preached:
Paul reminds the believers in Rome about the Gospel he brought to them:
Romans 1:1,9,15-16, 2:16, 10:15-16, 11:28, 15:16,19-20,29, 16:25
And to the Corinthian believers:
1 Corinthians 1:17, 4:15, 9:12,14,16-18,23, 15:1
2 Corinthians 2:12, 4:3-4, 8:13, 9:13, 10:14,16, 11:4,7
To the Galatians, who were being led back under the Law, he tells them only one Gospel:
Galatians 1:6-9,11, 2:2,5,7,14, 3:8, 4:13
To the faithful Ephesians he wrote:
Ephesians 1:13, 3:6, 6:15,19
To the saints in Philippi:
Philippians 1:5,7,12,17,22, 2:22, 4:3,15
To the faithful brethren in Colossi:
Colossians 1:5,23
To the Thessalonians, who thought they had missed the rapture:
1 Thessalonians 1:5, 2:2,4,8-9, 3:2, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, 2:14
And to his son, in the Lord:
1 Timothy 1:11, 2 Timothy 1:8,10, 2:8
To his friend:
Philemon 1:13
To Jewish believers:
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: …
The Gospel of GRACE, is the Death, Burial, and Resurrection according to the Scripture of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Parable of Lost Fellowship

There was a man, who because of a famine in the land, had to leave his family and go to a far off country. There he found work, but he was sad and lonely. For even though he loved and served the Lord, those with whom he worked were seekers of pleasure and not seekers of God. At first they were friendly and invited the man to join with them in their gaiety but as he refused, for it would dishonor the Lord, the invitations came less and less.

One day he discovered a group of people who loved and served the same Lord he did. His heart was filled with gladness. They joined together 3 times a week for fellowship and worship of the Lord. As he attended these meetings, the hand of fellowship was offered, he was made to feel welcome, his soul was refreshed, but sadness and loneliness soon vexed his soul again. Because for as friendly as the group were at each meeting, the friendliness stopped there.

The man was never invited to partake of fellowship after the meetings. So as long as the man stayed in the far off country, he was sad and lonely.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

LIFE ⇛ 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

11 ⟹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
⬫ Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: …
⬫ Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
⬫ Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
12 ⟹ Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 ⟹ Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
⬫ Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
⬫ Romans 14:10-14 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
⬫ 1 Corinthians 2:13-16 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Christopher Dorner: Inside look at burned-out cabin where fugitive ...

14 ⟹ If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 ⟹ If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
⬫ Romans 1:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
⬫ Psalms 62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Gospel of the Kingdom or Gospel of Grace …
is there a difference?

Image result for Gospel of the Kingdom or Gospel of Grace

Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Image result for gospel of the kingdom

Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom is the good news that the Kingdom (of Israel) was to be established with the Messiah ruling from David’s throne in Jerusalem. It would happen when the Jew (Nation of Israel) accepted the Lord Jesus as their Messiah.
This began when Peter made his declaration of who Jesus was.
Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

It slowed down with the crucifixion of Jesus, but rebounded when he rose from the dead. The Gospel of the Kingdom was presented to Israel during the first 8 chapter of Acts with the Apostles urging Israel to REPENT, be BAPTISED, believe on the NAME of JESUS.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

But the Nation rejected their messiah (However, Many individuals were saved and added to the church).
Saul got saved, became Paul and tried to reach the Jew but was rejected and so he turned to the Gentiles and the Church was established opening up the Gospel of Grace for both JEW and GENTILE to be saved as they Believed in the death, Burial and resurrection (1 Corinithians 15:1-4).

Image result for gospel of grace

So, this is the Gospel we are to present today, the Gospel of Grace. Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-7, Romans 10:13.
