Church Signs... What are you telling people???

Seeing verses like these on church signs.... begs the question... what are you trying to tell people? They get out their bible... go to Mark... look all through it... Yet, they will never find the gospel we are saved by in that book! 

Mark 1:15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mark 16:15-16
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.    He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

The kingdom gospel, found in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John never has and never will contain the "right" information for this dispensation of grace. 

I'm not bashing, I'm just pointing out the fact that we throw around verses carelessly... use your resources wisely. 

Although all 4 of those books contain necessary information to understand Christ's earthly ministry to Israel and even his character, they never contained the cross and ressurection as means of salvation. The kingdom gospel is not what we preach today. We should be preaching Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept SECRET, since the world began,  But now is (what??? Still hiddend??? No!) Made manifest. .   (Romans 16:25). In fact, what does Paul say about individuals that this mystery information is hidden to?

1 Corinthians 1:18 
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

If you don't understand that the gospel preached today is, SOLELY, Christ's death for our sin and ressurection for our justification,  you are "perishing" (bound for hell).

Wake up friends... Hear the gospel today! It's ONLY found in the epistles of Paul! (Not about the man, just his office Romans 11:13).

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures...

Ephesians 1:11-14 
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Hear the Gospel (the son of God's death for your sins and resurrection for your justification.)

Believe it and trust it!!!
