How do we know the gospel is the power of God?

Answered in 6 sources

The gospel is the power of God unto salvation as it reveals Christ's redemptive work and the righteousness required for justification.

According to Romans 1:16, the gospel is described as the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. This power originates from the message of Christ’s finished work on the cross, which stands in stark contrast to the empty promises of false religions. In 1 Corinthians 1, Paul explains that Christ is both the power and the wisdom of God, indicating that genuine salvation and understanding come through the recognition of His work, rather than through human efforts or achievements. Those who preach a false gospel fail to embody this power; they lead individuals to believe in false securities that do not lead to eternal life, thus underscoring the necessity of adhering strictly to the true gospel.
