God's Story

This message is all about good news!!!  Today I am going to share with you a wonderful message. This message is about the Gospel.  

Now let us begin with a question. What is the Gospel?  The root origins of the word come from old English.  The old English word gōdspel breaks down into gōd which is self explanatory and spel which means story. So the Gospel is God's story. 

So what does this statement mean?  It means that a set of principles, attributes, qualities, and teachings is laid out in the scriptures which describes what God is like, what his traits and attributes are, and what kind of a being He really is. By understanding this, we come to see what he expects of us. The scriptures are a basic roadmap of how to become like Him. 

Now this is the good news. God is a real tangible being, and we are His children. Now what good father does not want His children to become all they can and to be like himself. God has told us in His scriptures that he wants us to be heirs with Him.
