Gospel Reflections #450: Living in the Gospel

Revelation 14:6 “And I saw another angel flying high in the sky. This angel shall come with the everlasting gospel to preach to the inhabitants of the earth, to every nation and tribe, to peoples and nations of different languages."

Seventh-day Adventists understand the "everlasting gospel" of the three angels as a "universal message" to be proclaimed to "the whole world.

The "everlasting gospel" is the "good news" of who the God we believe in is, what he has done for us, and how happy we are to believe in and follow him.

The "whole world" includes not only places beyond our reach, but also places beyond ourselves, including the people next to us and our own families, whom we cannot leave even if we wanted to.

And the "universal message" is not one that repeats words like a TV commercial, but one that expresses the gospel through the way we live our lives.

It does not mean that we choose to live a wonderful and error-free life, but our God is the one who can help us do things, and He will help and guide us like this and fill us with His love. And I believe that our God-given "universal message" is to be willing to share His love with our families and those next to us, just as He has done for us.

There is nothing good in our lives that we can create for ourselves, but only what we have received from God.

This is God's grace, blessing, and gospel to us.
