“Outside of heaven, the power of God in its highest density is found inside the 
gospel. This must be so, for the Bible twice describes the gospel as ‘_the power
of God_.’ (Rom 1:16; 1 Cor 1:18)

Nothing else in all of Scripture is ever described in this way, except for the Person
of Jesus Christ. Such a description indicates that the gospel is not only powerful,
but that it is the ultimate entity in which God’s power resides and does its greatest
work.

Indeed, God’s power is seen in erupting volcanos, in the unimaginably hot boil of
our massive sun, and in the lightning speed of a recently discovered star seen streaking
through the heavens at 1.5 million miles per hour. Yet in Scripture such wonders
are never labeled ‘_the power of God_.’

How powerful, then, must the gospel be that it would merit such a title! And how
great is the salvation it could accomplish in my life, if I would only embrace it
by faith and give it a central place in my thoughts each day!”
