The Good News Of His Love And Grace – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional August 15th

(Preach God’s Love And Goodness)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 2:4
“Do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?”

LET’S TALK
When we talk about preaching the Gospel, we need to understand what that actually means. The Gospel isn’t a set of rules or a scary warning. It’s not a guilt trip or a “get-right-or-else” message. The Gospel is good news, plain and simple!

It’s the announcement that God’s righteousness is now available to anyone who wants it.
And it’s all because of Jesus. He didn’t come to the earth to point fingers or condemn anyone.

John 3:17 says: “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

So when the Lord Jesus told us to go out and preach the Gospel, He wasn’t telling us to scare people into faith. He was saying: “Tell them about Me. Let the world know how kind, patient, and full of grace I really am.” That’s what moves people—love, not fear.

I remember when I used to go for crusades with the movie “Burning Hell.” It scared people to repentance, but only for a while.

Why? Because fear-based decisions usually fade. They don’t last. But when someone encounters the genuine goodness of God, they’re moved to come out of their darkness. Romans 2:4 says “…the goodness of God leads you to repentance,” not His anger.

Think about Noah; he preached about the coming judgement for years, but how many people repented and entered the Ark with him? It was only his family.

The same happened with Lot. But when the Apostles preached the Gospel (the good news), nations were changed!

The Gospel is the message of hope, love, life, and victory in Christ. Of course, there’s a hell, and not just hell, but also the lake of fire where hell itself will be cast into with Satan and all who reject salvation.

But, blessed be God, no one who believes in Jesus should be afraid of going to hell because Jesus already went to hell on our behalf!

He paid the price and gave us eternal life, so we can live eternally in victory and success. He brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the Gospel—the good news of your righteousness, love, and grace. I’m a carrier of this message, spreading the light of your goodness wherever I go. Thank you, Lord, for delivering me from the power of darkness and translating me into the Kingdom of your dear Son. I rejoice in the victory and eternal life you have given me in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
