How does the gospel come in power?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel comes in power through the Holy Spirit, transforming hearts.

In 1 Thessalonians 1:5, Paul affirms that the gospel is not only heard in word but also delivered in power, indicating the transformative effect it has on those who believe. The power of the gospel is rooted in the Holy Spirit, who works to illuminate the truth of God's word and apply it to the hearts of believers. This power is what brings regeneration, enabling the individual to respond to the gospel in faith and assurance. It is a work entirely of God, ensuring that when one hears the gospel, they are not left unchanged but are instead drawn to Christ, leading to a life characterized by true faith and good works. Therefore, the effectiveness of the gospel lies in its divine origin and the Spirit's active role in applying its truths.
