...to testify the gospel of the grace of
God (Acts 20:24).
Blessed be God! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not
a religious message; it’s the good news of God's
grace. It’s the announcement of His love, His favour, and
His kindness toward humanity. The Apostle Paul described
his entire ministry as being focused on one central
message: preaching the Gospel of the grace of God.
This same Gospel was first preached to Abraham.
Galatians 3:8 says, “And the scripture...preached before
the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all
nations be blessed.” That blessing was not just material;
it was the promise of the Spirit and the outpouring of God’s
goodness. It was grace in prophetic form.
The Hebrew word for this covenant grace is “hesed”,
a term that describes God’s lovingkindness, mercy, and
unchanging favour. It’s what David spoke of when he asked,
“...Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that
I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” (2
Samuel 9:1). That was “hesed”, grace on covenant terms.
Through Jesus Christ, this grace has now been poured out
upon all humanity for anyone who believes.
Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace are ye saved
through faith....” The Gospel brought salvation, health and
healing, deliverance and righteousness, not because we
deserved it, but because God is good. His goodness leads
men to repentance (Romans 2:4). This is the message we
carry: that God loves the world, and He gave His Son so
that everyone who believes might have eternal life.
The Gospel of grace is not about condemnation; it’s
about justification. It’s about lifting the fallen and calling the
lost into a glorious inheritance. No wonder in Acts 20:32
the Bible says, “And now, brethren, I commend you
to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to
build you up, and to give you an inheritance among
all them which are sanctified.”
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the blessed Gospel of your
grace which is committed to my trust. I preach it boldly
and passionately as a dispenser of your lovingkindness,
a messenger of your mercy, and a witness of your
salvation. I walk in the fullness of the grace and blessings
of the Gospel, as I share it boldly with others, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
