Not Hanging on by Our Fingertips

No matter what the media might have you believe, we (Christians) are not hanging on by our fingertips waiting to fall.

There's a commitment to the gospel. This is another thing that marks out the New Testament believer. Paul is talking a lot about the Gospel, he's going to talk a lot about the Gospel in this particular book of Colossians, but he says a few things about this Gospel. He says, "๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ", so this Gospel is Universal in its power. Paul says "IอŸ'อŸmอŸ อŸnอŸoอŸtอŸ อŸaอŸsอŸhอŸaอŸmอŸeอŸdอŸ อŸoอŸfอŸ อŸtอŸhอŸeอŸ อŸGอŸoอŸsอŸpอŸeอŸlอŸ.อŸ ๐˜๐˜ต'๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ท๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜‘๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ

It's global in its scope and its breadth, and depth, that goes to everyone, is available for everyone.

Paul also says that it's fruitful, he says it's bringing forth fruit. That's what the Gospel does. That's what the Gospel does when we let it out, when we simply plant seed. You don't have to make it grow. We actually have to plant, and we have to do the planting and the watering so we provide the right environment, but at the end of the day, all we can do is plant and that's what God says we're to do. And as we do, the Gospel is fruitful and it's also growing.
