05 What Moses, Elijah, and Paul Had in Common

Father in heaven, Lord, we thank you so much for all the blessings that we've experienced at GYC so far.

And we know that you have more blessings stored for us.

So Lord, we pray that you will open our hearts to all the blessing that you have prepared for us.

And Lord, as we leave this place, as we leave Columbus in a couple days Lord may our hearts be full of Jesus and may our hearts be full of the gospel of Jesus Christ for all these things we prayed in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Alright So the title of my first message is, Do You Know the Gospel?

My name is Tim Kwon and I am doing this for GYC, so I just wanted to let you know they need it for recording purposes.

But The title of my message this morning is, Do You Know the Gospel?

So if somebody came up to you and asks you, do you believe in the gospel?

I believe most of you will say, yes, I do believe in the gospel.

And if they were to ask you then, what is the gospel?

Do you have a clear definition of what the gospel is?

You probably do know that the word gospel means good news, but what is that good news according to the Bible?

Believe in Jesus, yes, that's probably part of it.

Being saved, yes, that's probably part of it.

What's that news that should bring us joy and so on and so forth?

So I want to start off with an illustration here.

And So we'll call this 0, and we'll call that speaker 10.

And this is basically your spiritual maturity or your spiritual level.

And let's say that if you're at a 0, you're basically the devil.

You're the devil, you're just so evil, and there's no hope for you or whatever.

If you're at a 10, let's say that people look at you and they ask you, are you Jesus?

So you're at that level of spiritual maturity.

So I want you to reflect on where you are from 0 to a 10.

And mentally, I want you to point, actually let's do it actually physically.

I want you to point where you are from 0 to 10 and I won't look at you.

So I'm assuming most of you are probably somewhere around here, and hopefully you're close to here.

But let's say you're trying to move this object.

And you want to move this object, which is here on a 1, and you want to move this to here, to a 7.

What do you need in order to move this thing from here to there?

In order to move this from here, I need that energy, I need that force to lift this up, and I want to move it over here, using the force, using the energy, to move it towards that direction.

It's the same thing spiritually speaking.

If we want to go from here, from a 1, to a 3, to a 5, to a 7, to a 9, what we need is power.

So what is that power according to scriptures?

Please open your Bibles or your Bible apps to Romans chapter 1.

I'll have most of the Bible verses on the screen, but I want to start off with actually looking at the scriptures itself.

Romans chapter 1, and we are looking at verse 16.

It says here, for I am not ashamed of the what?

Well Paul says, for it is the what of God?

So Paul is saying, if we want to grow in Christ, if we want to be saved, what we need is the power of God.

If we want to be justified, if we want to be sanctified, if we want to be glorified, what we need is the power of God, and what is the power of God according to Paul?

That is the power of God that will justify us, that will help us to be sanctified, that will help us to grow, that will be glorified.

If we want any of that to happen, we need the power of God, which is again, the what?

So, then the follow up question to that is, if we know that the power of God is the gospel of Jesus Christ, then what is the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Since we're on Paul, let's stay with Paul.

1 Corinthians is the New Testament, right after Romans.

So Paul says here, it's on the screen as well, it says, moreover, brothers and sisters, he says, I declare to you the gospel, okay?

I've already preached this to you, which also you received and which you stand, by which you are saved if you hold fast that word which I preached to you unless you believed in vain.

So he says, for I delivered to you, first of all, that which I also received.

So he says, I received the gospel and I delivered that to you and what is the content of that gospel according to Paul here.

Verse 3 he says that Christ did what for our sins?

So content of the gospel number 1 Christ died for our sins that's content number 1 of the gospel but he doesn't end there okay he goes on Christ died for our sins according to scriptures verse 4 and that he was what he was buried and that what's the next thing And that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures and verse 5, and that he was what?

Before we get to glorified, it doesn't mention glorified here, verse 5.

He was seen, and we're gonna get to that later on.

So Paul is summarizing the gospel in 4 contents.

He was buried, and then after being buried, what happened?

He was seen, He was seen by Cephas, He was seen by the disciples, and He was seen by many others, and finally He says that He was seen by me.

So again, let's summarize what we learned thus far.

If we want to go from a 0, if we want to move and grow in spirituality, if we want to grow in Jesus Christ, what we need is the power of God.
