Happy Gospel

The true gospel is all about Jesus, HIS birth, HIS life, HIS cruxification, HIS death and HIS resurrection. What else can be so true than that.

The Gospel is a good news of Christ. The good news is centered in God’s son and tells of a new existence given graciously to all who believe and trust in it’s power.

1 Timothy 1 : 11 says, “According to the gospel of the glory of the happy (blissful) God (Rotherham translation)

The Angel who brought the message to the sheperds who are living in the field said, “Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you a good news of  a great joy which will come to all people.” (Luke 2 : 10).

Simeon a righteous man, a man who will not dead until he had seen his Messiah, said,” …For with my eyes, I have seen Your salvation, which You have ordained and prepare before all peoples.” (Luke 2 : 30-31)

The birth of Jesus is really a great joy! Jesus brings a great joy to all the people.

So the message of the gospel should make people happy (blissfull) because that’s what the nature of God. Different than that it’s not a true Gospel.

In Galatians 1 : 6, Paul was so amazed by how so quickly the Galatians turning away from God who called them by the mercy of Christ to some different good news (gospel).

Let me tell you something, Jesus came to put face on God, we are here to put face on Christ by our life, by our words, by of who we are, by our integrity, by our  honor , by the way we live, we demonstrate who Jesus is. Not just in terms of  sign, wonders, healings and miracles, and the stuff, but on who we essentially are as individual, we manifested Jesus in our day by day life. So nobody more honest than we are, nobody more loving, more kind, more generous than we are..because that’s what Jesus is. So your personal testimony what God is like for you, drives the whole of your life and ministry and it is the well spring of your integrity as a person

Jesus came to established and preaching  the Kingdom, showing this is what heaven is like. That’s why His prayer is..on earth as it is in Heaven.

He wants to give you eternal life like in heaven while you’re still on earth. HE wants you to be blessed (happy and to be envied), that HE gave HIS life for you.

It was death for Jesus..it is life for you, it was punishment for Jesus..it is freedom for you, it was judgement for Jesus,..it is blessings for you.

The true Gospel is also about being a new man in Christ, you are a new creation in HIM in a new world. 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 (TCNT) “Therefore, if  anyone is in union with Christ, he is a new being.” Moreover, “When anyone is united to Christ, there is a new world.” (NEB translation). Not only that, “The old has passed away, behold the fresh and new has come (Amplified), “His old life has disappeared, everything has become new about him (Knox translation).

So everything that we were “in Adam” has been shattered and destroyed. We’ve been disconnected from the falleness of humanity and it’s curse, which is separation from God, and have entered into a new world altogether, a new era.

Benjamin Dunn wrote, “In this new era, a Kainos era (new in kind and in contrast to what previously existed), a whole new reality and dimension opens to us. I call it the “kainos dimension”. It’s a whole new world! In our union with Christ we have entered into a new world of endless bliss. This is the realm and reality believers enjoy as a gift when they drink freely of the new covenant.

Well, I believe the true Gospel should make me happy and joyfull. As I said earlier, happy (blissfull)  is the nature of God, every words comeout from HIS mouth should make you happy. I remember Benjamin Dunn wrote this,” Next time if someone preaches to you “the gospel”, check your joy meters, because only the true Glad-Message of Christ’s finished work on the cross that can tip the scales!!!

So how about you? Are you happy??
