The Gospel Commission
Galatians 2:7-8
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me…


I. THE GOSPEL IS NOT OURS BUT GOD'S.

II. The gospel is COMMITTED TO HUMAN TRUST.

1. What an honour.

2. What a responsibility.

III. THE MINISTER'S DUTY with reference to the gospel is —

1. To keep it.

2. To maintain the truth of it.

3. To apply it to the best use.

IV. ONLY GOD CAN MAKE THE GOSPEL EFFECTIVE (1 Corinthians 3:7).

V. THE BELIEVER'S DUTY is —

1. To hear it humbly.

2. To receive it thankfully.

3. To obey it diligently.

4. To propagate it earnestly.

(W. Perkins.)
