The Purpose of the Gospel

Challenge: Has the Gospel ever posed a problem in your daily life?

John 8:28—36

One purpose of the Gospel is to _________  ____  _______  ________  ___  ______ in the lives of delivered men and women.

Isaiah 8:13-14

The Gospel of Christ will always ___________ the truth from lies; the real from the phony.  In-other-words, the “good news” of Jesus is not good news to them that believe not.

We are to never be ashamed of the Gospel that has made us free unto salvation.

Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Romans 9:33

The word “ashamed” in this verse gives thought to the word “___________”.  While those who are saved should never be ashamed to tell others of the good news, we should also not feel guilty when others fail to know the truth.  Many will die and live eternally in hell; however, we are not to feel guilty because we have the inheritance of Heaven and not hell.

Matt. 10:32-36

The Gospel of Christ will always make us feel uncomfortable in the presence of sin. And yet, when the Gospel is exposed, it will either _______  _______  ____  __________ or separate men to eternity in hell.
