The Gospel Saves In Every Situation

Romans 1:16
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…

Do you really believe that each time you hear the gospel of Christ, you are hearing God’s good news for you? The Bible tells us that the gospel of Christ, the good news that God wants all men to hear, is the very power of God for your salvation, not just from hell, but also from illnesses, financial lack, harm, a failing marriage — every aspect of your life that needs saving!
You cannot say, “Pastor Prince, I believe the good news, but maybe I’m one of those whom the power of God does not want to touch.” No, it is the power of God for everyone who believes, including you. And believing is of the heart. You cannot just understand it in your mind, you cannot just say you believe it, you must know it in your heart.
But what is the good news that God wants you to know in your heart, which will release the power of God into your situation?
“For in it [this good news], the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith…” (Romans 1:17) The good news is that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, which you receive from faith to faith. This means that this righteousness comes because you have faith in His blood, not your good behaviour, to make you righteous. It is from faith to faith, not works to works. The good news isn’t preached to show you what is wrong with you. It is preached to show you what is right with you because of Jesus’ work at Calvary, in spite of what is wrong with you!
There is nothing left for you to work at to try to receive the good news for your life. You only need to believe the all-encompassing saving power of God in your life to heal you of diseases, preserve you from danger, prosper your finances and bring well-being to your family. The world may say that the good news is too good to be true. But for us who are the righteousness of God in Christ, the good news is so good because it is indeed true!
