\n\nThe Gospel In Person \u2013 The Doctrine Of God
Tommy Robbins
\u201cPaul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of God, (Which He had promised afore by His prophets in
the holy scriptures,) Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord \u2026\u201d Romans
1:1-3
Before the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh the gospel of
God was in promise by oath, or covenant, Christ being the Surety and
Substance of that promise \u2013 \u201cWho hath saved us, and called us with an
holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own
purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world
began\u201d 2Timothy 1:9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HE IS THE PROMISE of the gospel. The gospel and Christ are synonymous.
He is the mystery of the gospel revealed to His people \u2013 \u201cBut we speak
the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory\u201d 1Corinthians 2:7. The
preaching of the gospel is the declaration of Christ, Who has come into
the world and effectually put away the sin of His people by the
sacrifice of Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lord Jesus Christ IS the Good News. Make no mistake, if the message
which we preach is not saturated, permeated, with the person of Christ,
we have not preached THE GOSPEL. He is our doctrine! The Lord Jesus
Christ is not revealed in the doctrine of God, the doctrine of God is
revealed in HIM! If we preach the Lord Jesus Christ as He is revealed in
the scriptures our doctrine will be correct. Confused? Let me simplify
it; \u201cWe preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and
unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews
and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God\u201d 1Co 1:23-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gospel is concerned with the Lord Jesus Christ, all He is, all He
has done, and all He is doing. He has preeminence in all things. It is
vital to be doctrinally correct. However, there is no correct doctrine
apart from Christ our Lord. Whether one labels me as a Calvinist or not,
is of no concern to me. I pray that it may be said of all who hear me,
\u201cHe determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and
Him crucified\u201d 1Corinthians 2:2.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
