GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings (Good News) of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10 (GNB)
There is much good news about the Good News of salvation and sanctification in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
God alluded to it after He called out to Adam and Chuwa (Eve) after their fall into sin in the garden of Eden, when He said that “… he will crush your head and you will strike his heel.”
Prophets in the Old Testament mention it. King David and the composers of the Psalms proclaim it. Jeremiah, Isaiah, Nahum, to mention but some – make mention of the Good News which is to be proclaimed to all nations and about those called to bring Good News to others. Ciaphas the High Priest had a vision about Jesus dying for all men.
Jesus spoke about the Good News - repeatedly.
The Disciples carried out the Good News far and wide. John puts it very clearly in John 3:16 and in John 14:6.
The Apostle Paul goes to great pains to explain to the Romans what sin and salvation entails.
In John 17 Jesus Christ prays for His Disciples and all those who will come to belief through them, - in other words, the yeasting process of carrying forth and proclaiming the Good News to all mankind.
Do you know of any other knowledge known to man on earth (even from the promises of secret and philosophical societies of man), that has so much testimony and witness to its “secrets” as pertains to the origins and purpose of the Good News of Salvation from sin?
Rejoice then and be glad when the Holy Spirit allows us to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour and encourages us unto a road of sanctification, good fruit and good works through life.
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. ) And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead: And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. ) And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. Acts 13:26-41
