The Gospel for Christians

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. -- Romans 1:11–12 (ESV) We often think of the gospel as something we need to share with unbelievers. It is the message through which they find peace with God. It's the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and the implication and application of His actions. This is the message that unbelievers need. But what about Christians? They already know and believe this message. What further relevance could it be to them? Of course there is a need to know it to tell others, but is there more? In the opening of Romans, Paul shares his desire for these Christians to not only know this message for regeneration but also for ongoing transformation. He is excited to share with them this gift both via letter and in person. Do you see the gospel as something that can continue to transform you?
