The gospel is for God’s enemies. In Acts 8, we learn that, through His servant Philip God preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to two nations that were once enemies of God. What demonstration of grace and mercy. Yet, we should not be surprised. God still reveals His gospel to His enemies –and that includes you and I: “And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds” (Colo. 1:21; See also Eph. 2:12; 4:18; Rom. 8:7).  

What good news that we who are in Christ can exclaim: “oh, I was once your enemy, and you sent your Son to atone for my sins with His death, and while I still had my heart and mind set against you, you pursued me and saved me through the preached gospel!” May we teach our hearts to sing thanksgiving that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for God’s enemies, like you and I!
