For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in - TopicsExpress



          

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power.... (1 Thessalonians 1:5). And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (1 Corinthians 2:4). If we believe that you can be a Christian without power or you can be a Christian without miracles, signs, and wonders (believing that miracles passed away with the age of the disciples), then we actually believe that the gospel is powerless. Our mind is saying that Jesus didnt really die and rise again, and the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead really doesnt live inside of us. To say that Jesus doesnt still do miracles today, is like saying that the gospel is just having to convince someone enough until they can have an emotional experience; or we can argue them into the Kingdom if we can just convince them by facts and theology.
