Focus on God’s Goodness-Gospel
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Romans 10:17.
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
The message about Jesus is the Gospel, which is good news for the soul. The testimony of Jesus inspires us to follow Him. His testimony consists of His identity as the Son of God and Savior of the world, His teachings, His ministry of healing and deliverance, His death on a cross and resurrection from the dead; His love for us and His saving grace. Jesus has also promised to return for those who are His faithful followers.
This testimony about Jesus stirs us to faith in Him as our Savior and Lord. So, if we keep our ears and heart open to the message about Jesus, our hope will be renewed and our spirit will be refreshed, knowing that we are loved by the God who created us.
The Message of the Gospel reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
