1. We must indeed preach Christ: Acts 5:42; Acts 8:5; Rom. 16:25.
2. Christ was a historical person: Acts 10:36-42; 1 Tim. 6:13.
3. But we are not to preach how He looked in His physical features, they were not comely: Isa.
53:2.
4. To preach Christ we must take into consideration the following points.
a. Christ is the Saviour: Jn. 4:42; Acts 5:30, 31.
b. To preach Christ is to preach the knowledge that He is: 2 Pet. 3:18.
c. Christ is the Truth: Jn. 14:6.
d. To preach Christ is to preach the character of Christ which is the doctrine that Christ is: 2
Jn. 9, 10.
e. To preach Christ is to preach the gospel of Christ: Rom. 1:16; Rom. 15:19; 1 Cor. 9:12,
18; 2 Cor. 2:12.
f. This is the gospel about Christ Himself (It is about who He was/the Incarnation, and
what He did - the sacrificial crucifixion): 1 Cor. 1:23; (2 Cor. 4:5; 1 Cor. 1:18).
5. Thus to preach about Christ is not to preach about His physical being, it is to preach the Truths of
Christ or of His salvific Character: Acts 5:42; Acts 17:3; (Gal. 1:23; Gal. 2: 16); Tit. 1:3.
6. It logically follows, that to accept Christ therefore is to accept or believe the Gospel of Christ, or the
Truths of Christ's Character - the Plan of Salvation: 1 Jn. 5:9-11.
7. To accept Christ as Saviour means accepting the Truths that He is to change our way of sin into that
of obedience to the Law: (Rom. 10:8-10; Heb. 10:39: 1 Jn. 5:1-3).
8. It is only when we believe (or accept) this Gospel for a change of heart that we are justified: (Jn.
8:24; Acts 13:38, 39).
