10:10:18 PM | OCT 15 PREACHING THE “ESSENTIAL” GOSPEL-- It was the preaching of the “essential” Gospel, the veritable “Good News” of Jesus Christ that finally convicted my stubborn heart in the 1980s of the fact that I needed to repent of my unbelief and accept the PAID IN FULL gift of propitiation that Christ’s redeeming sacrifice on the cross at Calvary represents. No more slaughtering millions of animals required by God upon alters of sacrifice for forgiveness of sins too profound for a loving and just God to contemplate. His stated preference is a circumcision of the heart and a living sacrifice of ourselves in service to His Savior Son, Christ Jesus. By submitting Himself as the sacrificial “Lamb of God” for the final and ultimate substitutionary payment for the “sins of the entire world” spoken of so much in the Torah/Old Testament as well as the New, our sin nature and sin debt brought about by one man in Genesis (Adam, through disobedience), has been correspondingly redeemed by the One Son of God/Son of Man Himself—Praise God. Oswald Chambers speaks to this topic today at The Key to the Missionary's Message P.S. Don’t forget to “Pray the Promise, not the Problem” at Scripture Promises
