Tenets of Our Gospel

The gospel is glad tidings or good news; that makes a man’s heart leap for joy. The gospel of
Jesus Christ is the totality of the message concerning what God has done for mankind in,
through and by Jesus Christ. It is the tool that God uses to bring men to salvation.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to
everyone that believeth to the Jew first and also to the Greek: For therein Is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the Just shall live by faith.” Rom 1:16-17 KJV
Tenets are teachings or principles that are believed to be true and that constitute an
important part of a belief or idea.
These are certain key elements, which are central to the gospel; they are not in any way
promises but statements of hard truth declaring what God has already accomplished for us in
Christ. They are truths that can be believed with confidence, principles that can be acted upon.

1. IT SPEAKS OF A KINGDOM THAT IS NOT OF THIS WORLD


“They are not of the world, even, as I am not of this world” Jn.17:16 KJV
Jesus said of His disciples, not just the twelve, but all who believe in Him [Jn 17:20]. He also
said to Pilate, “my kingdom is not of this world” [Jn.18:36] Why? There is a system set up on
earth and Satan is the god of this world’s system [Lk.4:5-6; 2Cor.4:3-4] and this system is
destined to fail [1Cor2:6] because it is headed up by a failure.
As believers, we are “in the world” but we are not “of this world” Though we live on planet earth,
which is the Lords (Ps 24: 1) we do not walk according to the course of this world; we are not
subject to the dictates of this world's system (Eph.2:2). We have been translated out of the
domain and dominion of the god of this world [Col.1:13]. We are subjects of the kingdom of God,
ambassadors for Christ, representatives of a kingdom that is not of this world [2 Cor.5:20].
God has called us to reign in this life as kings [Rm5:17]. He expects us to superimpose kingdom
conditions on the prevailing conditions in this world. I can live above sin, sickness, poverty,
depravity, bad habits, etc because I belong to a kingdom that is not of this world. We are citizens
of a kingdom that is not of this world [Eph.2:19].

2. IT SPEAKS OF ETERNAL LIFE [DIVINE NATURE]


Christianity is not a religion, it is not a way of life, it is the life of God in a human vessel. It gives
what religion cannot give - eternal life. The Greek word - “Zoe”, is the very life of God. The same
way we talk about human life, animal life, or plant life, this life is what makes God, the life that
puts him in the God-class. It is a life that is indestructible, imperishable, and unconquerable; the
very essence of divinity and this life starts up in you the day you are born again.
Human life is the product of human nature; in the same way, eternal life is the product of the
divine nature.
To have eternal life is more than living forever, it is to be a partaker of the very nature of God [2
Pet.1:4]. This life was reproduced in your spirit via the new birth (Jn.1:12-13) because nature is
reproduced by birth. God is our Father in every sense of the word; we have His life and nature.
We are God’s offspring; what a gospel!
“I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself
for me.” Gal. 2:20 KJV
“And you hath He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins” Eph. 2:1 KJV
The benefit of eternal life is much more than deliverance from eternal death. It is living in God’s
class; so that you reason like Him, it means that you have been brought into the realms of God.
It is not a promise but a statement of fact. You may not look like you have eternal life resident in
your body, after all Jesus did not look any different from His disciples [if He did He would not
have needed to be betrayed with a kiss] yet he had eternal life. This life showed up in His Words
and actions.
You are no longer living in eternal death; eternal life is at work in you. It puts to stop the
manifestations of death - poverty, sickness and disease, physical death etc in your life. You
have eternal life at work in your members now.

3. IT SPEAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Righteousness is the nature of God which when imparted into the human spirit enables him to
stand before God without any sense of guilt or feeling of inferiority.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him” 2Cor.5:21 KJV
God performed a nature transplant. He took all of man's filth and unrighteousness and poured it
into Jesus and filled man up with all His righteousness. Rom.5:17 says this righteousness is not
earned, it is a gift from God. We have been declared righteous. Now we can stand before God
Almighty [Heb.10:19]. What an honor! This was something only the High priest could do and
that once in a year on the pain of death if he had committed any sin.
“For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in this life by one Jesus Christ.” Rom.5:17 KJV
We did not do anything to get it, it was a free gift; all we had to do was accept it [Eph.3:8]. This
implies that we cannot lose by anything we could ever do. It is not of works lest any man should
boast [Eph.2:9].
You are the righteousness of God; you may not look like it to anybody else but it’s still true
anyway. Besides, it’s not in the looks; we are as righteous as Jesus Christ is righteous. This
may sound too big for some people’s theology but if God’s Word says it, we believe and that
settles it.

4. IT SPEAKS OF THE REMISSION OF SINS AND OF FREEDOM FROM SIN


It speaks of the remission of sins and not the forgiveness of sins. Remission is not the same
thing as forgiveness, without remission there can be no forgiveness. The old covenant speaks
of an atonement - the covering of sin by the blood of bulls and goats [Lev.16:16; Heb.10:4], for
the period of one year [Heb.9:7-9]. But under the new covenant we speak of remission - the
total and complete washing away of sin by the blood of Jesus Christ.
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is
no more offering for sin Heb.10:17-18 KJV
God is no longer angry with us. Jesus paid the price for our sins [1Pet.2:24]. All we had to do
was believe that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross was for us.
To him give all the prophets witness that through his name whosoever Believeth in him shall
receive remission of sins. Acts 10:43 KJV.
He was the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world [Jn.1: 29]
How is remission different from forgiveness? Remission is for the unconverted but once
converted, his sins are blotted out forever. He is like a newborn baby without a past [1Pet.2:2;
2Cor.5:17]. In this state, if he should sin, what he needs is not remission but forgiveness
[1Jn.1:9] He is like a child who got himself dirty because he rolled in the mud. This act does not
make him a pig; he is only a child that has gotten himself dirty. What does the mother need to
do? Simple, clean him up.

5. IT SPEAKS OF DELIVERANCE
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us
into the kingdom of his dear son:” Col.1:12,13 KJV
We have been delivered already, for we have been translated. The word “hath” is in past tense;
that is to mean He has done it already. We do not need to be delivered again for He has done it
once and for all. He brought us out to take us in - He delivered us from the power of darkness
and translated us into the kingdom of His dear son, Jesus Christ. We are people of light; we live
in that kingdom now.
“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom Jesus redeemed from the hand of the enemy;”
Ps.107:2 KJV
Jesus redeemed us; he bought us over with a price, which represents what you are worth to
God. What great a salvation to know that our value is the precious blood of Jesus.

6. IT SPEAKS OF DIVINE HEALING AND HEALTH


“Beloved, I wish (desire) above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth” 3Jn2KJV
“..by whose stripes ye were healed” 1Pet.2:24 KJV
God wants us well. He wants us to be in the right state of mind and body all the time. The life of
God is in us. Jn.15:1-6 makes us know that the very life that flows through Him flows through us.
Health flows through our veins, every hour of every day.
The Bible makes us know that healing is the children’s bread, hence we can have something
more than healing and that is health. Health is ours in the new birth.

7. IT SPEAKS OF PEACE “WITHIN” AND PEACE “WITHOUT”


The gospel according to Romans 10:15 is a gospel of peace. Having been justified by faith in
Jesus Christ, we now have peace with God [Rm5:1]. Isaiah 53:5 says the chastisement of our
peace was upon Him; in His death, He reconciled us back to God [Eph.2:11-19]. For without
communion with God, there can never be real peace. When one is not at peace with God, there
is no peace ‘within’ [Is.57:20-21].
The Bible meaning of the word peace in both Hebrew and Greek is: to be well, happy, healthy,
prosperous, restful, safe, whole, secure, quiet and set at one with God. This is the glorious and
harmonious state of being which God created man to live in. Jesus Christ has become our
peace [Col.1:19-22]
Because we have peace “within” we have peace “without”; we have peace with and
consequently the peace of God [Jn.14:27]. This peace, the Bible says in Phil. 4:7 surpasses
human understanding. In the midst of a turbulent world, it mounts a garrison around your heart.
You do not need to have sleepless nights, why should both of you stay awake at night?
[Ps.121:4; Ps4:8]. Why should you be afraid? The Lord is your shepherd [Ps.23: 1-4]. We dwell
in the secret place of the most high God [Ps.91:1-16] therefore we are confident; we entertain
no fears. We have peace like a river in our soul.

8. IT SPEAKS OF PROSPERITY
“Behold, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy Soul
prospereth” 3Jn.2 KJV
Jesus came that you might have life more abundantly; He came to make us rich [Is.119 TLB].
Poverty is not of God; the Bible says that Jesus Christ became poor so that through His poverty,
we might be made rich [2Cor 8:9].
This is God’s desire for man. David said: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” Ps.23:1
KJV
Eccl.5:19 says, “riches and wealth are the gift of God”. God’s people need to be rich; God’s
Word is free but not cheap. It costs money to propagate the gospel [Deut. 8:18].
God desires that we enjoy an abundance of the best things in life [1Tim. 6:17]. The blessings of
God make you rich [Prov.10:22] and in Gal.3:9 the Bible declares that we are blessed. Jesus
came to destroy the works of the devil [1Jn.3:8], which include sin, disease, poverty and every
other evil that weakens, corrupts, and demoralizes humanity. Poverty is demeaning; it is not
God’s will for us.
Phil.4:19 says that God will supply our every need according to His riches in glory in Christ
Jesus. This is God’s “419”; all you have to do is believe this gospel and prosperity is credited to
your account. What a life!

Conclusion
Study these truths, meditate on them and give yourself completely to them, preach them in
simplicity and with great plainness of speech. You will save both yourself and them that hear
you.

Our Statement of Commitment

Introduction
“Why do I do what I do? Why should I be so involved with the work of the Lord?” It is important
for us to review objectives and motives for doing the things we do because it matters what our
motivations are. You must realize that your world is your mission field, the world that you have
been commissioned to reach with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
See your world as your harvest field and let the following be your statements of commitment to
the work of the ministry as you work to bring in the harvest; let them be a constant source of
motivation to you.

1. I am convinced that God’s only saving power is in the Gospel


You must be absolutely convinced that the Gospel is the power of God. The Gospel is God’s
only saving power. “ 16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein
is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by
faith.” Roms.1:16-17KJV
God wants to save, help and deliver people but He cannot do it without the Gospel because His
power is in the Gospel. If anyone, anybody anywhere will believe this Gospel no matter how lost
in sin or how deep in evil they are and act on it;it makes no difference how deep the valley is or
how miry the pit is, they will come out as white as snow.

2. The Gospel is the answer to all human problems


The Gospel can be summarized in one sentence; God so loved the world. And that is enough! If
God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten son [Jn.3:16], then He will never
let them suffer, He will never let them perish. The essence of the crucifixion was a message and
not a ritual or a ceremony; a message to the whole world that God loves them. There is no fear
in love. This is the message of the Calvary. God wants us to be happy, not sad. He is not
interested in having the world dressed in rags, poorly clothed and ill fed. He wants them rich,
strong and healthy. He wants to give them an identity in Christ. This is enough to make us shout
and preach the Gospel.

3. The Gospel is committed to my trust


According to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
1Tim.1:11 KJV
The Gospel has been delivered to you; don’t take it lightly. Just picture God coming to you and
putting something in your hand saying Take this Gospel to the entire world and change lives.
That’s what He told us. Remember He can’t do it without you, just as you can’t do it without Him.
It is you and God working together that brings success. You are a missionary on a mission.

4. I am committed to the Gospel


Are you committed as a Christian worker? Can you say you are committed to the Gospel? It is
one thing for the Gospel to be committed to you and another for you to be committed to it. This
commitment shows in your choices.
Do you carry the consciousness that you are committed to the Gospel? A Christian worker
believes and knows that God has enabled him to win souls and to be a minister of life through
sharing the Gospel. Christ is the one reaching out to them through you. Share the Word of God,
Jesus knows where the people are and where they hurt. He needs someone to take the Gospel
to them for Christ and bring them back to God.

5. I am convinced that Jesus Christ is the only way


You must come to the point in your life where the way you live, speak, think and relate to people
proves beyond any confirmation that Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
Take a moment and really think about it. Since Jesus Christ is truly the only way, all the religions
of the world have deceived millions of people. If you are convinced that this is the truth, it would
dawn on you that you have the responsibility of communicating the Gospel with enthusiasm,
persuasion and much readiness. This conviction is reflected not only in soul winning but also in
discipleship; remember our motto for organized evangelism - win them, build them and send
them. This is what discipleship is all about.

6. I am convinced that the Gospel is the power of God


The Gospel is God’s saving power. let it dawn on your spirit for all times. The Gospel is what
communicates the power of God because His power is manifested in the Gospel.
Your convictions that the Gospel is the power of God will make you ready to share God’s Word
with someone else. It will give you divine boldness in communicating it. You must give someone
the opportunity to believe in the Gospel of Christ and have everlasting life. The communication
of the Gospel of Christ is the only hope for mankind.
Be convinced that the Gospel of Christ is God’s saving power for everyone and anyone and this
conviction will enhance your communication of this truth. This is the only news on planet earth
that sets man free!
