Good Gospel

In order to see our prayers answered we must pray with faith. in order to pray with faith we need a foundation for that faith; a promise of God or an understanding that what we are praying for is in His will. This is were most of us stumble. So in thinking about and discussing some of the promises of God and what we can expect as children of the king I've come to understand that many people either don’t understand or limit the goodness of God. We think in our minds that what the gospel actually says is too good to be true so we push it out to the future or to heaven not ever expecting that God love us and desires the best for us now and not just in heaven. The fact of the mater is that most of what Christ preached about was the Kingdom and the message of the Gospel is not merely about salvation from hell or even being “born again.” The point of the gospel was that God desires to bring heaven to earth. Go back and re-read The Lords Prayer or recite it to yourself and think as you do, “what if Christ was serious and wanted us to treat this as a literal prayer we were honestly to expect God to answer?”

Over the next few weeks I will be going through the teachings of Christ in the Gospels in an attempt to show just how good these promises are.
