ALWAYS VALID GOOD NEWS

Rom 1:16-17
 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. 17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."
NLT
Let us remember this day that the good news saves anyone who believes no matter who you are or what you’ve done.
One of major components of the gospel is that it tells us how God makes us righteous because of what Jesus has done for us; He suffered in our place taking our sins and guilt upon Himself on the cross.
One other thing I want to point out about the gospel today is that it is not only valid for you as someone who has never believed but it is effectually valid even after you are saved because it is through Jesus Christ that you continually gain access into the throne of God, it will never be through your righteousness even though the devil will want you to think so after you have been born again. I am saying this because sometimes the guilt of sin and shame that you have disappointed your lord as a child of God may hinder you from making it to the throne of God to obtain grace and mercy.
God’s plan for you is that you have a sweet fellowship and communion with Him through the Holy Spirit that lives within you. This will never be possible if that fellowship is based on your strength. You have to depend on Him daily for the grace and strength to continue in His righteousness.
Prayer: thank you father for giving us the opportunity to access you today by faith in the lord Jesus Christ. I pray today that you help me walk in sweet fellowship with you from this day, in Jesus name. Amen
