Permalinkis sent.” The word apostle is from the Greek; and the word missionary is
from the Latin.
The Gospel Message - what is it?
Good News, the announcing of it whatever the subject is, politics, financial,
good weather, all crops are bountiful and its a good season for it, even the
proclamation of rain, after a drought. However.....
In regards to an announcement or proclamation from the Heavenly Father, it is
in regards to Salvation.
Salvation from What?
Salvation is deliverance from danger or suffering. To save is to deliver or
protect. The word carries the idea of victory, health, or preservation.
Sometimes, the Word of God uses the words saved or salvation to refer to
temporal, physical deliverance, in regards to ones spiritual life it has to
do with freedom from sin and the power thereof, life eternal and the total
absence of anything evil. Nothing negative and a constant overabundance of
all ones heart can desire provided by our Heavenly Father in the Spiritual
world
In this life it has to do with ones food, clothing, lodgings for the day,
with freedom of concern for these things, freedom from concern regarding ones
state after the death of our bodies. And salvation also contains blessings
for all we say and do when we walk hand in hand with the Holy Spirit of God.
Whatever we set our hands to do will prosper. You can also read all about
these blessings in The Old Covenant, wherein the Blessings of that covenant
carry over to this day, for those in Christ Jesus.
Upon what is this Good News from the Heavenly Father based?
1Co 15:1(1-11) Now, I am making known to you, brethren, the good news which I
brought as glad tidings to you, which also you took to yourselves, in which
also you have taken a stand, through which you are being saved, in what word
I announced it to you as glad tidings, assuming that you are holding it fast
unless you believed in vain; for I delivered to you among the first things
that which also I received, that Christ died on behalf of our sins according
to the scriptures, and that He was entombed, and that He has been raised on
the third day according to the scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas,
then to the Twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren
at one time, of whom the majority are remaining to the present time, but
certain ones fell asleep. After that He appeared to James, then to all the
apostles, and in the last of all His appearances, He appeared also to me, an
unperfected, stillborn embryo. For, as for myself, I am the least of the
apostles. I am not fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted the
Church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am. And His grace to me
did not turn out in vain, but I labored to the point of exhaustion more
abundantly than all of them; however, not I myself, but the grace of. God
which labored with me. Therefore, whether it were I or they, thus are we
preaching and thus did you believe.
How do people differentiate between this Gospel being evangelized, and the
News of Religions, other Gods, and their promises?
And, afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at
table, and He reproached their disbelief and hardness of heart because they
did not believe those who viewed Him attentively after He was raised. And He
said to them, Having proceeded into all the world, make a public proclamation
of the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized,
will be saved, but the one who disbelieves will be condemned. And these
attesting miracles will accompany those who believe these things. In my Name
they will cast out demons. In new languages they will speak. Snakes they will
pick up. And if they drink anything deadly, it will positively not harm them.
Upon the sick they will lay hands, and they will recover. Mark 16:15-18
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them
that ask him?” (Mat 7:11)
“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities
of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the
manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to
one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers
kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these
worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as
he will.” (1Co 12:4-11)
The admonition to the ekklesia’s. To Desire and seek after these things
above.
1Co 14:1(1-5) Be constantly pursuing this love, earnestly endeavoring to
acquire it. Moreover, be earnestly desiring the spiritual gifts, and do this
in order that you might more efficiently impart to others the divine
revelations you have received. For the one who is uttering words in a tongue
is not speaking to men but to God, for no one hears him so as to understand
what he is saying. And he utters with his human spirit divine revelations not
explained. But he who imparts divine revelations to men is speaking with the
result of upbuilding the Christian life, and exhortation, and consolation.
The one who utters words in a tongue builds himself up in his Christian life.
But he who imparts divine revelations to others builds up the local assembly.
Now I desire that all of you be speaking in tongues, but I prefer that you
impart divine revelations to others which you have received. Moreover,
greater is the one who imparts divine revelations to others than he who
speaks in tongues, with this exception that he interpret, in order that the
local assembly might receive upbuilding.
After Paul departed from this ekklesia he proceeded on to Ephesus where he
operated in Special/outstanding anointing and gifts of the Spirit. These
things are part of the Prophecy of Jesus regarding his believers will do
greater and mightier things by the Spirit of God when he was gone thus
confirming the words that the Apostles, or Missionaries sent by GoD to
preach, live and teach others around the world of the Message of the Good
News of God and to differentiate it from all other gods and religions. Yet
these same gifts and callings are for the local ekklesia unto the end of this
age.
Those who deny these scriptures, deny the Word of God thus destroying or
attempting to destroy the blessings of God to all who are in need of all
these things.
And as Paul, an apostle of God who was not ashamed of the the Gospel of God,
I too am not in the slightest. I am also in concord with many other Believers
in the Full Gospel of Jesus The Messiah.
One cannot be a partial loser of there life, and partial believer. It is all
in or all out,
