  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hi there, and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_01: I am your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the Word of God with you.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I started this series called Effective Evangelism, and I've been sharing a lot on how we have how there is a need for soul winning, how we really need to go out and reach those who are unreached for the kingdom of God.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_01: And then when we have reached them and when we win them, that we need to disciple them.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: But that Jesus came so that no one would perish, but that all should come to repentance, and that God so loved the whole world, and not only you and me, but each and every individual on this planet, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: And so I've shared on, you know, the need for us to reach this world, you know, with the goodness of the gospel.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's why Jesus says, I will make you fisher of men, because we need to catch people, you know, for the kingdom of God.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: We need to catch that fish, fish.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: And some people go out with a line to fish with a line, and some people go out to fish with a net.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so I'm, you know, the Lord spoke to me that I need to throw out my nets, you know, and just get as much people as possible for the kingdom of God.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: That's my calling as an evangelist, but also to equip others to go and do exactly the same.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: Now, that doesn't mean that they also need to go and throw out their nets, which which would be amazing if God asked that from you, but at least teach you how you can be effective when you go out to win those people over for the kingdom of God, how you can go out and just reach that that person one-on-one, whether it's gonna be your neighbor, whether it's gonna be in the gym, you know, on your work or whatever.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's just that it's my job to teach you how you can do that effectively.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so I've been sharing a lot on my personal testimony, how my process went as an evangelist, how I, you know, saw the vision of multitudes, and then the very first time I came uh, you know, in Brazil to preach the gospel, and I went empty-handed, but just with the goodness of the gospel, and I had just a little bit of an impact.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: But then when I went back and I brought food with me, I had about a hundred food parcels with me, then you know, I was like swarmed by people, and God showed me, you know, James 2, verse 14, 15, that I should never go empty-handed when I go and preach the gospel to the people that the Lord has sent me to.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: And so I found out that you know, if you level with people in their needs or where they're standing in life, that you really can reach them very easily, you know, for the kingdom of God.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm not I'm I'm talking about people that are not church people, that are not Christians, they are non-Christians, people that have no relationship whatsoever, you know, with Christianity or you know, with Jesus.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: And so, um, and I shared, you know, that of course it's not the only way, there are a lot of effective ways how you can reach the gospel.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna share too, I'm gonna try to share a lot on all those ways, but uh, you know, you can apply in your personal life in a very simple way, you know, to reach people also by leveling with them.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, maybe you have nothing to give in the natural, like you don't have money to give away food parcels, or you don't have money to buy food for the homeless or anything like that, but then you can bring them a smile, you know.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: You can you can go to your neighbor and say, Man, I see your grass is pretty high.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: Is it okay that I'm own your lawn, you know, or wash your car, or whatever?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: There is something that you can, you know, connect with people.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: And I took the example also that when I sometimes go to the sauna, you know, I level with people, you know, in the sauna because we just talk about things that interest us.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: We talk about the sauna, we talk about, you know, um the steam room or whatever, you know, and how amazing that is, and then you know, I'm asking where they are from, and you know, and so I level with them, and I get this, I get this conversation with them, and once I have their conversation, you know, when I have their attention, then bam, before you know, I'm talking about Jesus.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: And but I do that in a very relaxed, natural, and organic way.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so, yes, I am reaching the crowds, you know, and God gave me a lot of tools to do that, do so, because that's my ministry, but then in the same time, you know, I'm also a disciple of Jesus, I'm a follower of Christ, and you know, when I'm not doing ministry, you know, I'm still winning people for Jesus, I'm still sharing the gospel, I'm still praying for people because that is for each and every Christian.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's the great commission that he gave us in Matthew 28.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's our it's our command that he gave us to go and to make disciples of all the nations.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: So and everywhere I go, and you know, whoever I meet, I will never let one chance slide to shatter about Jesus.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm not like, you know, some you know um radical guy that you know uh just stops everybody in their tracks and says, I need to tell you about Jesus.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: But I am a person's person.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, I love to be on myself, I love to be all by myself just with Jesus.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: But when I'm out, I can be a real person's person.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: And so I just connect with people and just start talking with them so that I can reach them with the goodness of the gospel.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: I have no interest in connecting with those people just to connect with them.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: I want to connect with them with a purpose, and that is to share the gospel with them.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: And so I'm always on thinking like, how can I, you know, if I feel, you know, this connection with somebody, I feel led by the Spirit, I just connect with them, and then I'm just immediately thinking, like, how I'm gonna reach you in a natural way with the goodness of the gospel of the kingdom.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's the things that I want to share and I want to teach you, but I've also been sharing a lot on that.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: And then uh, you know, we ended up in you know how we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom, the only true foundation that people need to hear to become a child of the living God.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: And so if we look at the foundation, you know, um, this is something that we should never ever do any concessions in.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: We all we there is no way that we can share anything else than this gospel.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: If we do that, then that's another gospel.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: And Paul says that there is no other gospel.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: If anybody preaches any other gospel than what we have preached you, Paul said, let them be accursed.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if there is no other gospel than the gospel of grace, than the gospel of the kingdom of God, the gospel that Jesus Christ brought us, the good news of the gospel, that there is peace with God and man based on the sacrifice of Jesus that He paid for us with His death and His resurrection.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: And so Paul says, I am not ashamed of this good news of the gospel.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not ashamed of this gospel of Christ, because it is a power of God until salvation.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's the only gospel by which people can be saved, and it's the only gospel that we need to preach, and we should not do any concessions in it.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Father God, thank you for this word, and I give you all the honor in the name of Jesus.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: So, this gospel that we need to preach is the only gospel that when people hear, truly hear it, because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, Romans 10 17.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so when they really truly hear this gospel, believe it in their hearts, and then confess it with their mouths, they will be saved.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: And so, look what it says in uh John uh 2 John 1 verse 9.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: 2 John 1 verse 9.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: 2 John 1 verse 9.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: It says, Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: He who abides in the doctrine of Christ hath both the Father and the Son.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, nor greet him, for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: There is only one sound doctrine, and that is the doctrine of Christ Jesus.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and it's my responsibility as an evangelist to share this doctrine, preach this doctrine, and also teach others to do exactly the same.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: So we can win those who are in darkness and we can equip the saints and you know for the work of ministry.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: And it's also your responsibility to preach this gospel that Jesus is talking about, you know, and this gospel that Paul is talking about, no matter the situation where you are in.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: If you truly truly, if you truly want to uh help people, then you know you should preach the truth to them because the truth will set you free.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: You shall know the truth, or the truth will set you free.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: Truth, sharing truth with people is truly loving them the way that God loves them.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: If you do concessions because you don't want to hurt their feelings or you don't want to offend anybody, you know, or you just you want to sugarcoat it or whatever, you know, that is not love.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: That is not what God teaches us to do.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: He says in Ephesians that we should keep us on the truth, but in love, that we should share the truth in love.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: And so we should always share what we share, the gospel of the kingdom in love.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: It is a gospel of unconditional love, but we also should share it in truth.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so sometimes people don't like to hear what they hear, even though it's the truth, and you do that because you love them.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: And so if you tell people that they are in need of a savior, they don't always receive that as good news.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that means that I'm lost, yes, you are.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: But there is good news, there is a savior, and all you need to do is to believe on him, you know, and receive him, to acknowledge that you truly, truly need them.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so, in 2 Timothy 4, it says in verse 1, and I'll read until verse 5, it says that Paul says, I charge you therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and teaching.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: Man, the Lord spoke this to me, and it truly spoke to my heart.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: And he said, Johan, there will be a time that people will not be able to hear the truth.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: They don't want to listen to the truth, they want to listen to whatever suits them, whatever fits their own doctrine, philosophy, and faith system, you know, and they will turn away from the truth.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: But you have to be watchful and always keep preaching the truth.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: Don't do any concessions.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: Do the work of an evangelist, share them the truth, even though you know maybe they will reject you, even though they will condemn you, slander you, tell lies about you, or whatever, you know, hate you and persecute you, because they cannot endure sound doctrine, they cannot endure the word of truth, they cannot endure the gospel of the kingdom of God.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: And so this happens.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: There is a time, you know, and I believe that time is now that people cannot hear the truth.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: And but you need to preach the truth in season and out of season.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: Whether it fits or suits or doesn't, just keep preaching the truth and preach it in love.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: Convince, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and teaching.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Now, does that mean that you need to make somebody feel bad about himself?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: That you're gonna be judgmental or anything like that?
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: No, not at all.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: Not at all.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: But you have to tell them the truth in love.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's what Paul teaches us in Ephesians 4.15, you know, when you preach the truth, preach it in love.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: And so I need to share them in love what the truth is.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: The gospel of the kingdom is the truth.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: And the gospel of the kingdom doesn't judge, doesn't reject, you know, doesn't condemn, doesn't make you feel guilty, you know, or ashamed or anything like that.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: You know, but there is a truth, and that truth is that they need Jesus, or else they do not have life.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: 1 John 5.11 says that he who has the Son, or herein God has proven his love for us, that He has given us eternal life, and this eternal life is in His Son.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_01: He who has the Son has life, and He who does not have the Son does not have life.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we need to convince them.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it says in the Bible that, you know, the Holy Spirit will convince us of sin because we do not have believed in the Son of God, we did not have believed in Christ.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: And so there is a problem if people do not really believe that, because then they do not have life, and then people will say, Well, I'm breathing, my heart is beating, and you explain them what life you know we are talking about.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: We are talking about this Zoe, spiritual, eternal life.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: And so that is the truth, but you share that in love with them.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: And so, if someone says, You know, I don't need a savior, I have done nothing wrong in my life, I am not lost, then you need to show them in love by the word of God that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: You can ask them, did you ever lied, you know, or did you ever cheated, you know, did you ever play uh you know, did adultery or whatever, you know, did you ever did anything of that?
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, that that, you know, in God's standard is, you know, seen as sin.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: And when you have sinned, you fall short of the glory of God.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: That means you cannot enter into the presence of God, you cannot have a communion and relationship with God, you know, you cannot be justified based on your own works because there is payment for sin.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: And payment for sin is punishment.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: But God placed that all on Jesus so that you don't have to be condemned.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: He made him to be sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: You can be innocent before God if you're under the blood of Jesus, if he becomes your Lord and your Savior, because then you know whatever Jesus has already done for you will be imputed to your account, and then you know, you will receive what is already available for you because you have put your faith in it, and then when you receive that, that moment you become squeaky, clean, holy, pure, and blameless before God in love.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, but you need to accept the Son as your Lord and Savior.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: You cannot do that yourself, that's impossible.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: So I tell them that, but I tell them in love.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: I understand what you're saying, I understand where you get from come from, I understand why you think like that, but and then share them the truth in love.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, and then you also share them that God loves you, he's not angry with you.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, John 3.16 is the is the gospel in a nutshell.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, John 3.16 says, and you can add 17 to it, but you know, it says that God so loved the world, so God is not angry.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's first of all, he doesn't want to judge you, he loves you.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: So God so loved you that he gave his only begotten son, the most precious that he had, he gave up for you and for me.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: So that when we believe, it's a gift, it's grace, unmerited favor.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: All you have to do is to believe that.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's not like you know, you can receive all of that if you're gonna do this, this, this, this.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: No, just believe it.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: That's all you need to do.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you are lost, there is salvation, it's already available for you, but you just have to believe it.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: That if you believe it, you will not perish.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: You will not perish, you will have everlasting life.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: And this everlasting life is that you can know God as a father, that you can call him Abba Father, because God, from the moment you believe on Jesus, will pour out his spirit of his son into your heart by which you call Abba Father.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: He will make you completely new and give you a peace that surpasses all understanding, that will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: He will fill you with his love, with his spirit, you know, and you will gonna start to live the life that God has intended from you from the beginning of creation.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you will be adopted as his son, and you will you will get to know a love that you never have experienced before in your life.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is good news.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: You just believe it.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: That's all you got to do.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: You have to believe it.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: And so, man, that's good news.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's the gospel, that's the word of God, that's the word of truth that we need to preach and that will set people free.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: So Jesus says in John 8 32, and you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, what is truth?
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Que es veritas?
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: Well, the truth is that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: No one comes to the Father but by Him, by Him.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's the truth.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: The truth is that He is the Son of God who came, laid down His life, then died at the cross, was buried, and then rose again on the third day.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: That's the truth.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: So we must abide in His truth and not in the fabrication of man.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: Psalm 146 says, Do not trust in nobles, you know, or on the child of man with whom there is no salvation.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: No one can save you but Jesus.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: And so we should always remain in the truth.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: When we preach the true gospel of the kingdom, we are preaching the truth, and the word of God is the truth.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: And so let's look at the word of truth.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: When Christ came to this world, he preached the gospel of the kingdom in Mark 1.14.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to use a lot of Bible verses now because I just want to show you about the gospel of the kingdom.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_01: Mark 1.14.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says, Now, after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Repent and believe in the gospel.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: Now, as I shared before, the gospel means Evangelion, and Evangelion means you know good news.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus preached the good news of the kingdom.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: So the kingdom has good news for us, and the good news is the word of truth.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: And Jesus was preaching this good news during all of his ministry.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: He preached it from the very first day, as we just read, you know, in Mark 1:14 and 15, until the day that he uh ascended into heaven.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and we can read that in Acts, and he was preaching the gospel of the kingdom through all of his ministry.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: You know, in Matthew he spoke 46 times about the kingdom of God.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_01: Repent, you know, and the kingdom of God is at hand.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: Repent and believe the gospel.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: The kingdom of God is like this, the kingdom of God is like that.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he said it says in Acts 1, I believe it's in verse 3, it says that uh he spoke with them 40 days about the things of the kingdom of God.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: He was constantly talking with them, preaching them the kingdom of God.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_01: Now, if you look in the book of Matthew, because Matthew is really like obvious or concerning the things of the kingdom, in Matthew 4, verse 23, it says, And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, healing all kinds of sicknesses and diseases and casting out demons and that so on.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_01: But he was preaching the gospel of the kingdom.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: Then in Matthew 9 35, you see the same pattern continues.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: You know, here it says, Then Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, healing every sickness and disease, and you know, among the people.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: And so, and then in Matthew 24, 14 it says, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus was constantly preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and this is the gospel that he came to preach.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: This is the gospel he came to bring.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: He says, I need to go to all the villages, you know, and to preach the gospel there because that's the reason why I came.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, he is preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and then he is uh sharing to people, you know, that they need to preach the same gospel.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: The same gospel that Jesus was preaching, we also need to preach.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: In Luke 4.18, it says that Jesus says, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: To preach the gospel to the poor.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: Now, in John, in um sorry, in Acts 10.38 it says, you know, how God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and with power and how he went about doing good and uh, you know, um healed everyone that was oppressed by the devil.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: And so that same and that same Holy Spirit is now upon you and me also.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: The Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and he has anointed you to go and preach the good news of the gospel, because he all calls us to go out and preach the good news of the gospel.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: In Luke, I don't want to go ahead of myself, but in Luke 4.43, in Luke 4.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says, I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: And then in Luke 7 22, Jesus is saying.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: He Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard, that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Preach to them.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and then in Luke 8:1, and I I love it more, you know, in the amplified.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: So in Luke 8:1, here, before he goes to the parable of the sower, it says, Now it came to pass afterward that he went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: And so it says in the Amplified, preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: Everywhere Jesus went, he was preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, a message of hope and peace, a message of reconciliation and restoration between God and man.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: A good news that makes us happy, that excites us, man.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: And he came to make peace between man and God.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: He came to redeem us for God.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: He came to buy us with his precious blood.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is good news.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: And he tells you and me that we should go and preach the same good news.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_01: We are called to preach good news.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: We are called to preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is not hell and condemnation.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: That is not making people feel bad and afraid, and if you're gonna die today, do you know where you're gonna go?
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: That is not the good news of the gospel of the kingdom.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: That is not how you win people for Jesus.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_01: You need to share the good news of the gospel of the kingdom.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: You need to and you need to explain them how Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: You need to explain them that without Jesus they do not have life.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: You need to explain them that God has a future and hope for them.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and there are so many people in the world that have no hope.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: And you can share them about this hope that can be an anchor for your soul.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: You know, there's so many people who do not have peace in their hearts.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the only people that I know that have peace in their hearts are born-again Christians and disciples of Jesus, amen.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: Because the peace that the world offers us is a false pseudo-peace, it's not real peace.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, we can share them on this peace that God gives us, that in the midst of every storm we know that everything is okay.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't you want to know that everything is okay for you, for your children?
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know that once God is for you, no one can be against you.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: Once you are under God's protection, on within covenant with God by the sacrifice of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, once you are under his wings, man, your life is gonna lift off, man.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna really, you know, accelerate to be the life that God intended for you to live.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: Man, it's you know, it's such a good news, and there's so much good things to share with people concerning, you know, um, the gospel of the kingdom, and it really will excite people, it makes them curious and makes them hungry.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_01: I have shared the gospel with so many people in so many funny situations.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: I have shared the gospel with people that went to church and they said they never heard the gospel in this way, and that that really excites them, and now they understand that they never really gave themselves to Jesus and they wanted to do that, and they repented on the spot and confessed Jesus as the Lord and Savior and that they really need him to live the life that God intended for them.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: They went their whole life to church and never had a relationship with Jesus, they went their whole life to church and never had this certainty that they are now belonging to God and that are children of God, they are that they are right standing with God, that they are forgiven and there are a new creation.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: They never had the certainty that they would enter into the kingdom of God when they would leave this planet.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Never.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: They would never ever knew that God truly loves them unconditional, not based on what they can do for God, but based on what Jesus has done for them.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: And me just simply in five or ten minutes explaining to them the gospel of the kingdom changed their life completely.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: And they received this living faith.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: They came to living faith, you know, where they could have a relationship with Jesus.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that's the gospel of the kingdom.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I've got a lot more to share on that, but my time is up, so I really look forward to see you in the next episode of One Gospel.
