ThreadAfter reading The Gospel Message article in the ModuleWe.docxVannaSchrader3
Thread:
After reading "The Gospel Message" article in the Module/Week 4 Reading & Study folder, answer the following questions (250–500 words). These questions are to be answered in separate paragraphs.
What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture?
What are some specific moral reasons people may reject the Christian gospel?
What are some specific emotional reasons people may reject the Christian gospel?
What are some specific intellectual reasons people may reject the Christian gospel?
What can Christians do to address these objections and better communicate the Christian gospel?
The Gospel Message
The Apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16).
Paul should know, since his life was radically transformed when Jesus confronted him on the road to Damascus (Acts 9, 26:4–18).
Once he knew Jesus and His power, nothing held him back from telling others about the risen Christ.
He shared this gospel, the “good news,” with anyone who would listen to him, regardless of their religion or moral background.
Paul once wrote to a group of Christians telling them about this gospel.
He said:
Moreover, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
Be assured, this same gospel that changed and motivated Paul is for you and me today.
In understanding the gospel message we find out that:
Jesus paid the price for our sins (I Peter 3:18).
Our sins can be forgiven (Ephesians 1:7).
We can have eternal life by trusting in Him (John 3:15).
The word “gospel” is mentioned over 100 times in the Bible by Jesus and His disciples.
Jesus was the source and subject of this good news.
Jesus began his ministry by sharing this central truth, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15).
Jesus personally shared the gospel with those who listened to Him and today He is sharing it through the Bible and those who know and follow Him.
He wants everyone to believe this gospel.
But why is the gospel needed and how do people come to
understand clearly what it means to become a follower of Christ and believe this gospel
message?
The Problem
The problem is that all people are born sinners and sin separates them from God.
“Your [sins] have separated you from your God” (Isaiah 59:2).
The problem started in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were given clear instructions by God.
They were free to eat of any tree in the gar.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

3. Learning in the hereafter:
How long will we keep learning?
What will life be like?
The school in the hereafter:
Enrollment
The study program
The Teacher
We never stop learning. Only death can
put an end to our learning process.
Or can it?
We learn from the Bible that we will be
still learning long after our death. We’ll
have the chance to take a “postgraduate
course” or “Master’s degree.”
A new and exciting learning phase will
begin after our resurrection: the school in
the hereafter.
4. “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has
eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
(John 6:54)
The last stage in our learning path will begin with our
resurrection. There is one requirement to fulfill in order
to be part of “the resurrection of life.” (John 5:29)
Jesus made it clear: eating His flesh and drinking His
blood. That is, accepting His redeeming sacrifice on the
cross (John 3:16).
In that moment, we will
receive a gift that will last
as long as our learning in
the hereafter will:
ETERNAL life (1Jn. 5:13;
1Tim. 1:16; Jn. 4:14; 6:40;
Jud. 1:21; Tit. 3:7).
Now we have limited time in this life. Then, Jesus will
give us unlimited time for limitless learning with Him.
5. There are many obstacles to successful learning today:
imperfect teachers, flawed programs, limited intellectual
ability, personal and family issues…
All these obstacles will vanish in the “new heavens and
[the] new earth in which righteousness dwells.” (2P. 3:13).
Sin and death will be no more, so life will be perfect. There
will be no flaws in our new learning path. We will also be
transformed and made perfect by God. Our intellectual
ability will be incomparably superior to our current one
(1Co. 15:42-49).
“Now thanks be to God for His
indescribable gift [which is
precious beyond words]!”
(2 Corinthians 9:15 AMP)
6. “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to
face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just
as I also am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)
God founded the first school in Eden so
that Adam and his descendants would
learn everything about God, the world
around them, the universe, and any other
topic they could think of.
God wants to reopen Eden’s school once
this pause that sin caused ends for good.
Everyone is encouraged to enroll
(John 3:16).
Accept Jesus as our Savior by faith (Acts 16:13)
Trust in His promises (Hebrews 10:23)
Live up to the light that we have (James 1:21-22)
Endure unto the end (Matthew 24:13)
How can we
enroll and get
accepted into
this school?
7. The learning program and the content of our “textbooks” will be
quite different in a world free of the effects of sin. For example:
Biology. There will be no death, illness, or pain. We’ll learn how
all the wonders in all organisms—even the smallest ones—work.
Zoology. Animals will no longer attack and kill each other. We’ll
be able to learn from them with no fear whatsoever.
Astronomy. We will not need telescopes anymore. We’ll be able
to travel to any planet we want to study!
Above all, the most important
subject in our curriculum will be
the plan of Redemption and the
great love of God (Zechariah 13:6).
8. “for the Lamb who is in the midst of the
throne will shepherd them and lead them to
living fountains of waters. And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes.”
(Revelation 7:17)
Teaching was one of the main activities of Jesus during His
ministry on Earth (Mat. 5:2; Mar. 4:2; Luke 19:47; Jn. 6:59).
Jesus will still be our Teacher in our school in the
hereafter. He will be our tutor and will lead us to better
understand His character and His Creation (Isaiah 54:13).
We’ll have unlimited time to learn, so God will gradually reveal
to us more deeply and gloriously. The more we’ll learn about His
character, the more we’ll admire Him and the more intense our
songs of praise will be.
Then, “From the minutest atom to the
greatest world, all things, animate and
inanimate, in their unshadowed
beauty and perfect joy, [will] declare
that God is love.”
(Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 678)
9. “There immortal minds will study with never-
failing delight the wonders of creative power, the
mysteries of redeeming love […] Every faculty
will be developed, every capacity increased. The
acquirement of knowledge will not weary the
mind or exhaust the energies. There the grandest
enterprises may be carried forward, the loftiest
aspirations reached, the highest ambitions
realized; and still there will arise new heights to
surmount, new wonders to admire, new truths
to comprehend, fresh objects to call forth the
powers of mind and soul and body.”
E.G.W. (The Story of Redemption, cp. 67, p. 432)
