GOSPEL MESSAGES!

Growing up in a small town, I often heard, "gospel truth" used figuratively and "nothing but the gospel truth" when used for emphasis. People weren't ashamed of the gospel. (Romans 1:16)

Some people live out the gospel.
Some people preach the gospel.
some people study the gospel.
Some people teach the gospel. 
Some people wear the gospel.

Last week on WKNO I saw the Temptations (all 5) "wearing the gospel."
Check out the "I ♡ Jesus" to right of lapel.

I love the Temptations toe-tapping Motown music and that's the gospel truth! Motown music has my all time favorite dance tunes. Hubby and I always dance to "Ain't True Proud to Beg" whenever the song plays---no matter where we are.  Just ask our kids. Even my cell # ends in 1966, the year "Ain't True Proud to Beg" was released by Motown Records. So.........imagine how excited I was to see them "wearing the gospel" on national TV.

The real undeniable. absolute, infallible gospel truth is the truth found in the well known verse,
John 3:16.
In 1 John 3:16 the gospel message includes living it out.
This is how we now what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We too, then, ought to give our lives for others! (Good News Translation)
A self-sacrificing gospel message for all believers to live out is, "give" to others.
