| Good Advice |
| The gospel is not just good advice, it is good news! |
| Most of us have received a great deal of advice in our lifetime. Some of it was good and some bad; some we heeded, and some we discarded or ignored. Some of the advice we receive we pay for, such as recommendations and direction from doctors, lawyers, or counsellors of some sort. Other advice is free, and someone has well said, usually that is all it is worth. Some advice we solicit, and there is a large amount we get whether we want it or not. |
| But the “gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1), is more than good advice. It is the truth of God, His good news to sinners, and it needs to be listened to and heeded. We are urged, “Believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). |
| The advice columns of the newspapers and magazines advocate the opinions and wisdom of this world according to the standards of society at the time. But the Bible presents the timeless, unchanging gospel. Often it does not really matter if we heed the advice of others. But what we do with God’s good news has eternal consequences. The Apostle Peter raises the question: “What shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God” (1 Peter 4:17)? |
