Welcome to my Daily Reading Blog.  Currently I'm doing a daily reading with a number of other men from our church where we read through a book of the Bible every day for a month.

 

Each of my daily posts consist of a thought or a verse that I found noteworthy from my reading.

 

During the month of August we are reading Romans chapters 13 to 16 once a day.

Preaching the Gospel to the Believers? PDF Print E-mail

Romans 1:15 "So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome."

The gospel is only for unbelievers right?  Wrong!

Romans 1:8 "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world."

How often is the gospel conveyed (or implied) solely as a means of evangelism or mission work?  Paul here confirms what orthodox Christianity has always confirmed, the gospel needs to be preached to all, believers or not.  There is so much depth to the gospel message (as we read in Romans) that we can spend a lifetime exploring it and growing in knowledge and love for Christ.

Everyone needs the gospel.  And it is all believers responsibility to proclaim it.

1 Corinthians 2:2 "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."
