God never stops working, so why should we? God time is not a parsed out piece of our life; as a believer it is our life. We may work and do family things in the world, but wherever we are we need to praise Him and look to the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us and use us. We must never, never stop doing what He has called us to do. ~ DickEvans.org

His Words
The words of Christ live in our hearts making us wise. And those words came from our digesting His Word and from the Holy Spirit through our relationship with Him. When He places someone in our path, He expects us to see them saved, healed, and discipled. He expects us to open our mouth and let His words speak to others to teach and to counsel them. ~ DickEvans.org
Shout It
The Good News is not something to be whispered in closed rooms or only at church on Sunday. The Good News is for us to shout out just like we shout out our excitement about that last ballgame or movie we watched. We are to tell our story; the story of what a relationship with Jesus has done in our lives. We are to tell the story of Jesus; His birth, death and resurrection. ~ DickEvans.org

One Gospel
There is but one Gospel and we are not to add to it or take from it. It is not a smorgasbord where we pick and choose a few pieces and add to it some dessert from this book and that television series. It is easy to be fooled by those that twist the message a little here and a little there. We need to stick to His Word and listen to His voice letting Holy Spirit teach us and guide is in all that we do. ~ DickEvans.org

The Good News
Galatians 4:4-5 NLT
But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.
Father God sent His son to earth to be one of us. Jesus did not come as the Jews thought. He came as human. As an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes that Christmas morning.
He was born as a slave to the law just like all the other Jews. He grew up as any other Jewish boy learning a trade and studying Gods word as was written in that time. Like any other boy in his town, he memorized the words of the prophets.
When it was his time, he was baptized by John the Baptist and all who were present saw Holy Spirit come down and heard Father God speak this words tell Jesus He was well pleased with him.
He was the same as all the other boys and yet as a man of thirty he had never broken even one of God's laws. Not one. He had never sinned. He was sent to purchase freedom for the Jews and for all of mankind.
He spent three years in the age of the law discipling many followers as they heard his teaching and saw the miracles he performed. His close circle of twelve received most of his attention, but others learned as they listened as well.
He laid the groundwork for all believers to come. For all who would be called Christian.
When he was finished with his mission on earth he was hung on a cross, crucified for all to see. This was when freedom was given for all. Freedom from death. Freedom from the penalty of sin. Forgiven forevermore. Freedom from the curse of the law. Freedom from all sickness and disease.
This became the end of the age of law and moved mankind into the age of grace. Jesus paid our debt in full.
The Father, because of what Jesus did for us at the cross. Never sees our sin and has forgiven and forgotten all our past sin. They are as far from Him as the west is from the east. He only see us through his son, Jesus.
All it takes for anyone on earth, no matter what they used to believe, or who they used to follow, is to believe in Jesus and what He has done for us. Believe and receive His salvation and grace forever. Believe and you are born again with a promise of eternity with God.
These are the Father's gift to all who believe. And He never takes back a gift. There is nothing we have to do. No work required. Just believe in He who the Father sent. Believe in Jesus.
This is the good news. God sent his son to purchase freedom for all mankind. This is the gospel of grace. That is the gospel of Jesus.

Feels Good
It is not about what feels good to us. No, the enemy makes many earthly ideas seem wonderful to us for he is an expert in the art of deception. We must rely on the Holy Spirit to lead us and not our own thoughts. We must follow His plan and not ours. ~ DickEvans.org

The Fruit
The fruit of our salvation is not the tribulations we go through. That trouble is the serendipity of living this life in the world, a world that is controlled by the prince of this world. The fruit of our salvation is expressed in how we react to what the world system throws up in our face. ~ DickEvans.org
