Yeah, the church has a message that can sanctify the entire world, change the entire world, convert the entire world. The power of the gospel message can benefit even the unregenerate, even the unregenerate who are stubborn in their hearts. But if they're living in a culture and a society that has been touched by the love of the gospel and the power of the gospel, they will begin to learn a standard of righteousness and holiness that's insisted on by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They no longer obey their witch doctors or their local tribal chieftains. They submit themselves and even bow the knee to a higher authority, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

And the gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of Jesus Christ includes so much more than just a simple little gospel message. It is all the edicts and the way that the word was used in the first century, and the Lord Jesus Christ chose his words very carefully. The gospel of the kingdom is the gospel of the laws, the edicts, all the pronouncements, every single statute that the Lord Jesus represents that gives us His standard of holiness. And this is part of our gospel message. And when it sweeps over and overwhelms entire cultures, We're baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, giving them this vision of how they can come out from slavery to sin and be released from that into slavery to righteousness and freedom in the law of Christ.

What is the message of the Gospel?

Geoff Botkin explains in this video that the church has a message that can change and convert the entire world. The power of the Gospel can benefit the unregenerate because when they are living in a culture and society that has been impacted by the Bible, they will learn God's standard of holiness and righteousness.

The Gospel of the kingdom can mean so much more than the Gospel message. It includes all of the statutes and commands of how God wants us to live. It tells them how they as unbelievers can be released from slavery to sin into freedom in the law of Christ.

John 8:12 (NKJV) – “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
