gospel

Paul has an opportunity to preach before the governor Felix, a powerful and influential man.



With this kind of opportunity how would he present the gospel?
a) How to have a happy life?
b) How to be rich & healthy?
c) Positive thinking?

"...He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus. As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid..."

Before people can appreciate the good news of Jesus they must be aware of the bad news.
God's righteousness. Our lack of self-conrol=sin. The Judgment.

"What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!" -Apostle Paul (Rom. 7:24-25)
