| "Sharing the Gospel" |
| "A Crown of Rejoicing!", and the "Good News!" |
| ||||||
| "What is the Gospel?" 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 1:16). |
| "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." John 8:31-32 (NASB) The Greek word that is translated "gospel" in the King James Bible is euangelion (yoo-ang-ghel'-ee-on). The Greek word means good news. The Gospels are found in the Holy Bible they are Matthew,Mark,Luke and John some would also say the book of Acts written by Luke, They are part and parcel to the New Testament or New Covenant they speak of Jesus,his life,his death,his buriel and resurrection! They also speak of Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ! Now with this many gospels it isn't hard to get a good look at who Jesus was and what message it was he was preaching! I am gonna continue with a little more narrative.Let's start with the "Gospel according to Mark" the shortest of the Gospels and the oldest,Mark was more concerned in his narrative of the life of Jesus and the physical things he did it seems all the Gospels portray one message, but Marks version is more on physical things like the healings and miracles and actions! Just an interesting note Mark's gentile name was Mark, but his Jewish name was John and since five books named after two different authors of the same name wouldn't work in the Bible he writes under his gentile name! Matthew is next with the "Gospel according to Matthew" the second oldest of the gospels following Mark at just about 25 years after Jesus resurrection, Matthew encompasses 28 chapters and gives a lineage of Abraham right up and to Jesus and a good narrative on Jesus and his life, verifiable is a good word to use when we listen to Matthews detailed accounts of King Herrod and others who played a role in this Gospel! Next we have the "Gospel according to Luke" Luke describes how God's Son entered human history,Jesus lived as a perfect example of a human. After a perfect ministry,he provided a perfect sacrifice for our sin so we could be saved! Luke was a doctor or physician ,he was a gentile and the only gentile author in the New Testament,we know the Gospel according to Luke was written somewhere near AD 60 from Rome or possibly Caesarea! He also wrote the "Book of Acts" and then the most famous of the Gospels. The "Gospel according to John" probably written about AD85-90 before John's exile to the "Island of Patmos" . While the Gospel of John leaves out the great commission,parables,asencion or genealogy! It does however include six unique miracles recorded just to John's gospel of the eight recorded among the gospels in their entirety! It's purpose to prove conclusivley that Jesus is the Son of God and that all who believe in him will have eternal life! |

| What is the "Crown of Rejoicing??" |
| In preperation of this article I must say that many Christians believe in what we call the two judgements 1st, the "Great White Throne Judgement" this scary judgement is spoken of in the later parts of the book of Revelations,2nd Is a Bema Judgement in which Christ will give unto those who love him rewards and although it is not directly spoken of in the scripture some of the rewards are directly mentioned although many we probably will never know all about this until we meet the Lord,but these are some we do know of from scripture have a look it's a promise to you! If you walk with him and faint not according to Christ Jesus! 1. The Incorruptible Crown, given to those who master the old nature (1 Corinthians 9: 25-27). 2 The Crown of Rejoicing, given to soul winners (Proverbs 11:30, Daniel 12:3, 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20). 3 The Crown of Life,(James 1:12) given to those who successfully endure temptation (James 1:2-3, Revelation 2:10). 4 The Crown of Righteousness for those who especially love the doctrine of the rapture (2 Timothy 4:8). 5 The Crown of Glory, given to faithful preachers and teachers (Acts 20:26-28, 2 Timothy 4:1-2, 1 Peter 5: 2-4). When Christ calls Christians to himself (read John 14:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:51-55; 1 Thes. 4:13-18; Rev. 3:10; Rev. 4:1-3), the next event on God’s calendar will be to judge believers for what we have done in this earthly life. We want to hear Jesus say, “Well done, good, faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your salvation, which is fitting.” these particular crowns come after the rapture of the church and are given to those believers who have met these criterea according to God.
