Once again, by the grace of our God, the glorious gospel of Christ was preached in the community of Las Tosas, on the outskirts of the city of Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, last Monday, July 14. A group of brothers and sisters were together with the missionary Osvalmy Jaramillo announcing the good news of salvation in Jesus to a group of people of the community.
The preaching of the gospel of Christ is the proclamation of God’s transforming power, the revelation of his unconditional love and the invitation to a life of reconciliation and hope. It is the proclamation that, despite our imperfection and sin, God has loved us so much that he sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins and rise again, conquering death and offering us eternal life.
On this occasion our great God in His mercy and will allowed 16 people to hear the message of salvation in Christ, and 3 of them made a profession of faith, acknowledging Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Preaching the gospel involves confronting sin and calling for repentance, but always from a place of grace and compassion. We recognize that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but we also proclaim that God is willing to forgive and restore all who repent and believe in Jesus.
