The Concern Of God

Romans 1

    The particular subject with which the Gospel of God is concerned is our Lord Jesus Christ, and redemption in Him. The good news is to chosen sinners, but it is not about them, it is about Him. All false religions make the concern of their message about themselves, not about Him. Identifying the substance of a message, will reveal it to be either true of false. The glory of the Gospel of God is the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is God manifest in the flesh. Every messenger that God almighty calls and sends, preaches thegospel of God, concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Every true professor of faith in Christ will acknowledge Christ Jesus the Lord and his work, rather than themselves and their own work. The Gospel preacher’s life is concerned with and consists of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The life of those to whom Christ has effectually revealed himself in divine regeneration by his omnipotent Spirit, and the preaching of the Gospel, is concerned with and consists of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This message of the Gospel, Jesus Christ, is the concern of every God called preacher as well as every saved sinner.

    If this is not the case, there is no scriptural foundation to identify anyone as Gospel preachers or Christians. Likewise should this not be the case, any ministry and any profession is but a sham, a fake, and an imposter. As Christ embraces those whom he loves in the Gospel, so those who love him embrace him and his Gospel. They are his concern and he is their concern. We love Him, because he first loved us (1 Jn 4:19). That which we love will prove to be our greatest concern!
