The Gospel Has Come to You #065So it is today. God uses men and women to carry this same good news to others. It is the good news, the gift of eternal life, which is obtained through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ. If you hear the message of Jesus Christ, it is because God sent it to you. This is the amazing truth. The almighty God, creator of the universe, sends the message of Christ's death and resurrection to you and to me. You see, you do not first reach out to God. God reaches out to you. As 1 John 4:19 says, "We love because He first loved us." God takes the initiative. He took the initiative when He sent His Son to die on the cross and rise again. He takes the initiative now in using His followers to bring the message of Christ to you and your neighbors. Of course, this is an expression of God's love. One of the most familiar verses in the Bible tells us this. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Oh dear friend, don't reject this good news of God's love coming to you. Listen to His Son who says, "Repent and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15).
