P. 2
The gospel is ‘the power of God’
(Romans 1:16-17).
It establishes us in everything in life,
even giving us prosperity and health
(Romans 16:25, 3 John 2-3).
But it only works when we are
separated to it, as Paul says he was
(Romans 1:1).
This means we can’t mix it
with anything else:
the law, theology, or the wisdom of preachers.
And the Apostle Paul says most preachers
don’t preach the gospel
(I Cor 4:15, I Tim 1:7, Gal 4:17).
Jesus tells us the same thing:
“Don’t pour new wine into old bottles.”
“Don’t sew a new patch on an old garment.”
