The Impact
of the Gospel

And these all, having
obtained a good report
through faith, received
not the promise:
- Hebrews 11:39
 
 
Paul preached the Gospel in word, power, in
the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance. The
Thessalonians believed, turned, and received
that they were never going to be the same again.
The Gospel had so profoundly impacted them
that others were reached.
First, understand that the Gospel is the greatest
message ever told. Jesus Christ dying for our
sins, being buried, and risen is the greatest news
any sinner could ever hear. It is the Gospel that
has the ability to change lives because it is the
power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16).
Has the Gospel made an impact in your life?
The believer, even after many years, should
be powerfully impacted by the fact of Christ's
death, burial, and resurrection for them.
Secondly, the Gospel was given by messengers.
These messengers were not just relaying a truth,
they were Holy Spirit filled preachers. If we are to be truly effec-
tive as ambassadors for Christ, then we must be Holy Spirit filled.
They were preaching a message that changed their lives forever
and thus it was much easier to deliver. Do you tell others about
Christ as a truth owned?
Lastly, we see the great impact the Gospel had. It affected the preach-
ers, the Thessalonians, and places all around them! The whole region
was buzzing with the news that many pagans from Thessalonica
were now followers of Jesus Christ. They had turned to God from
their false idols. Has the Gospel so impacted your life that not just
you but those around have been influenced? Has the Gospel so
impacted your church that your community has been influenced?
