Christians Should Be Different! Lord Jesus Christ. " I John 4:17 states: "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world." Modern life has many aspects.

Lesson 18: Obedience To The Gospel Master index of 25 studies: "Determine your salvation" Lesson 18 Obedience To The Gospel After Jesus had died for our sins, was resurrected and just before he ascended into heaven, he commanded his apostles in Mark 16:15-16, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Our Lord wanted the gospel preached to everyone.

In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek."
