"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for
he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek him." - Hebrews 11:6
"… And how shall they believe in him of whom they have
not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they
preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
- Romans 10:14-15
What is the gospel of peace?
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel…how
that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
- 1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4
"But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias
saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?" - Romans 10:16
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God." - Romans 10:17
How do we obey the gospel?
We obey Christ’s death by becoming dead to sin by
repentance, we are buried with Him by baptism, and we are resurrected by the
infilling of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 6:2-5).
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38
