The Meaning of “If”

Aug 28, 2022    Mike Osthimer

The gospel doesn't require us to go find
Jesus. We don’t have to work to find Jesus. We
don’t have to go up to heaven to find Him, we don’t
need to search among the dead as if to bring Him
up.

Paul says the message is on our lips and in our
heart. All we need to do is believe and receive. All
we need to do is trust in the word of God and what
God has said all along.

Verses 6-7 speak of the Incarnation of Jesus and in
verse 7 the resurrection. Two doctrines the Jews
find it hard to accept but are a requirement for
salvation.
