Download or read book The Gospel of the Kingdom in Romans written by and published by One Body Life. This book was released on 2023-08-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (3 chapters taken from God's Kind by the same author and replaces a previous booklet entitled: The Completion Gospel) Jesus said: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Mat 24:14). The last verse in Acts says Paul was "proclaiming the Kingdom of God." The next verse in the Bible begins Paul's epistle of Romans, where he preached the "gospel of God" to the believers in Rome (Rom. 1:1). The entirety of this epistle is the gospel of the Kingdom. Most Christians are only familiar with the systematic development of half of the Kingdom message (Romans 1-8), which brilliantly highlights personal salvation by grace through faith. However, without experiencing the systematic progression in the second half of Romans, many believers unnecessarily struggle in weaknesses. They fail to recognize how the destructiveness of division in the Body of Christ has negatively affected their journey. Jesus declared: "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls" (Luke 11:17b, ESV). Therefore, the Kingdom message includes the gospel of peace described in Romans 9-16. This aspect of the gospel is needed to unite divided believers together in love and fellowship. The breach between diverse believers needs healing: those excluding others and those excluded can be one in fellowship. This oneness is needed for the Kingdom of God to come on earth. Romans is a roadmap for all believers to "seek first the Kingdom of God" so He will bless them with a life free from anxiety: "...all these things (life's necessities) shall be added to you" (Matt. 6:33). The finality of accepting the gospel of the Kingdom in Romans results in God being glorified by those in one accord and Satan being crushed under the feet of those in peace!

Download or read book How God Became King written by Tom Wright and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.' With that surprising assertion, Tom Wright launches this ground-breaking work in which he helps us to see the gospel story in radically a new light, and to acknowledge that, for many generations, the Church has been avoiding its full impact and holding back from proclaiming its full meaning. 'Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.' Paula Gooder in Third Way 'Scholarly, accessible, insightful and provocative.' Christianity 'Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for 'rethinking' cogently and deserves widespread attention.' Theology

Download or read book Simply Christian written by N. T. Wright and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is justice fair? Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? N. T. Wright argues that each of these questions takes us into the mystery of who God is and what he wants from us. For two thousand years Christianity has claimed to answer these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still does today. Like C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity, Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader is starting from ground zero with no predisposition to and perhaps even some negativity toward religion in general and Christianity in particular. His goal is to describe Christianity in as simple and accessible, yet hopefully attractive and exciting, a way as possible, both to say to outsides ÔYou might want to look at this further,Ö and to say to insiders ÔYou may not have quite understood this bit clearly yet.Ö

Download or read book What is the Gospel written by Robert Charles Sproul and published by Reformation Trust Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In What Is the Gospel?, Dr. R.C. Sproul writes on the most important thing in this life: the gospel of Jesus Christ. In twelve chapters, Dr. Sproul examines the defining features of the biblical gospel, which alone has the power to save. In order to define the gospel, Dr. Sproul begins by examining truth about God and the necessity for a Savior in Jesus Christ, who is both God and man and who made a perfect, representative sacrifice for the sins of His people. Dr. Sproul not only maps out our need for Christ and the historical realities of His coming but also the things His very death accomplished: the justification and salvation of His people. This entails that Christ has taken upon our sin and also had given us His righteousness, which is ours by faith. To finish this presentation of the gospel, Dr. Sproul also drives home the importance of sharing it with others"--

Download or read book Announcing the Kingdom written by Arthur F. Glasser and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Announcing the Kingdom provides a comprehensive survey of the biblical foundation of mission. It investigates the development of the kingdom of God theme in the Old Testament, describing what the concept tells us about God's mission in creation, the flood, and the covenant with Abraham. It then describes God's mission through the nation of Israel during the exodus, at Mt. Sinai, and through the kings of Israel. The book then examines God's mission as Israel is sent into exile and the stage is set for the Messiah's coming. Finally, the book considers the fulfillment of the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ and the church. It examines Jesus' parables and ministry, his proclamation of God's kingdom among the nations, and the work of the Holy Spirit through the church. Announcing the Kingdom is the product of Arthur Glasser's more than thirty years of teaching and has been used by thousands of students at Fuller Theological Seminary. Now revised by Glasser's colleagues, this study provides mission workers and students with a new understanding of their calling and its biblical foundation.

Download or read book The Gospel of the Kingdom The Life of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God A Dispensational Commentary Hardcover written by Philip Mauro and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful book, Philip Mauro offers commentary to demonstrate how Jesus, and the Kingdom of God is alive and vibrant all around us. In this thorough refutation of the dispensation movement, Mauro demonstrates how the dispensationalist traditions of the past are simply untrue. He examines each of the seven principles, and sets them against the words of the Holy Scripture, demonstrating how each is inconsistent with what is taught in the Bible. Mauro doggedly cites the Bible throughout this text, explaining the deeper passages with the clarity only a gifted and studied preacher acquires. His firm belief is that the truest Christianity - whereby believers gain closeness of God and His Kingdom - is not to be found in the tenets of dispensationalism, but the original Holy Bible. Although composed in the 1920s, Mauro's book shines with clarity and retains its relevance to this day.

Download or read book Getting the Gospel Right written by R. C. Sproul and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unity in the gospel is essential to the witness of the church. Yet that unity was tested by the release of two documents, Evangelicals and Catholics Together and The Gift of Salvation, which appeared to surrender the historic doctrine of sola fide (faith alone). In response, Christian leaders released a statement called The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration. Getting the Gospel Right, a companion to Sproul's popular Faith Alone, contains the complete text of that statement along with thorough, point-by-point discussion and exposition, to make a strong declaration of the abiding unity of evangelicals regarding the gospel and justification by faith alone.
