Now that we have defined the Gospel as God's story, how do we know what that is? One could make the easy guess that it is the Bible and you would be partially correct. But that gets to be a history lesson which we will discuss and demonstrate in our coming articles. For now let's just state that the Bible is not God's story in its entirety, rather a part. It is a very important part, don't get me wrong, but it is not the whole story.
God is a real living being. He is also an eternal being who's guiding principles are unchanging. He knows the hardships and challenges we face. He has stated that He wants us to be joint heirs with Him, and He wants to teach us how to do it.
So in addition to this written portion of the gospel is a living portion we know as prayer. It is a means through which we can get to communicate with God, and come to know Him and in the process, come to know ourselves as well.
Through prayers we can receive God's living word for our lives are find out how to serve Him and how to overcome our difficulties. We can receive answers, comfort, hope, faith, blessings, hearings, and miracles by establishing and building a relationship with our Father.
