Paul
proclaimed in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith:..” Paul declared boldly that the Gospel is the
power of God to bring men unto salvation. The power of the Gospel is that
TRUTH. That is the pure, undefiled TRUTH. It is that pure message that will set
every man free who believes God’s promise and places their faith in the
finished work of Jesus Christ.
Any
deviation from the Truth of God’s Word will annul it’s power to accomplish it’s
intended purpose in us and whoever we might affect. The only way to walk in the
power of His Spirit is to embrace His TRUTH without amendment. Jesus declared
to John in His Revelation 22:18, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man
shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away
his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book.” It says what it says and means what it means.
We must embrace His TRUTH if we are to hear Him say, “...Well done, thou good
and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord,” Matt. 25:21.
Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…”
