THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL

 DECEMBER 27, 2025

Therefore we are buried with him by

baptism into death: that like as Christ

was raised up from the dead by the glory

of the Father, even so we also should

walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).

Sometimes I ask Christians, “Where does Christianity

begin?” Oftentimes, many are not sure; they think

Christianity began from the Cross, when Jesus was

crucified. But no; Christianity began from the resurrection

of Jesus Christ and was made possible by the presence of

the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. The true message

of salvation is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This is important because it’ll show you whether or not

you’re living the true Christian life or practising religious

Christianity. Until Jesus died, it wasn’t possible for anyone

to receive eternal life. His death only paid for our sins—the

sins of the whole world. So, when He died, everybody's

sin was paid for.

The Bible says God required one sacrifice, one perfect

sacrifice, for sins because the blood of bulls and goats

which the priests offered every year could not take away

sin. Hebrews 10:11-14 says, “And every priest standeth

daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same

sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this

man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,

sat down on the right hand of God...For by one offering

he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”

His death was only to pay for our sins, but the

sacrifice for our sins was not enough; God needed to

have something better than that. He wanted us to have a

sinless life. That became possible when Jesus resurrected.

Remember, when He died, we died in Him. When He was

buried, we were buried with Him. When He resurrected

from the grave, we were raised together with Him.

At His resurrection, He was born again; rebegotten

of God, “God hath fulfilled the same unto us their

children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it

is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son,

this day have I begotten thee” (Acts 13:33). The first

begotten of the dead (Revelation 1:5). Notice He’s called

“first begotten” because of the rest of us, for as He is,

so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Romans 6:4 says,

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into

death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead

by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk

in newness of life.”

We’re products of His resurrection. When you were

born again, you were born with a new life; the resurrection

life. This is the true message of salvation. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the resurrection of Jesus

Christ that made it possible for me to receive eternal

life. I'm a product of His resurrection, born into a new

life of righteousness, victory and dominion. I walk in the

reality of this truth, conscious of the very life and nature

of God in me. I live above sin, sickness, defeat and the

systems of this world. Hallelujah!
