The Absolute Disciple Who Will Restore the Gospel
Acts 1:1, 3, and 8 “In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach. (1) He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. (3) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (8)

A different, incorrect, and a decaying gospel has been spread throughout the entire world. Without the correct works of the true Gospel taking place, the world has no choice but to revolve around its outdated thoughts and ideas, archaic habits, and old fields. At this time, God has called you as an absolute disciple to restore the Gospel. You must know the fact that nothing works apart from the absolute Gospel. That is why the Gospel movement must arise. What are the conditions of the absolute disciple who will restore the Gospel movement?
1. A Remnant Without Excuses
A Remnant who possesses the Gospel to save the world cannot make any excuses because Christ finished everything on Mt. Calvary(Acts 1:1). The Remnant who holds onto this covenant will experience God’s Kingdom being established wherever he goes(Acts 1:3). Furthermore, he will receive power and become a witness to the end of the earth only when the Holy Spirit comes upon him(Acts 1:8). Those who received this covenant at the Mt. of Olives gathered at Mark’s upper room to devote themselves to prayer(Acts 1:14). There was no other significant reason for them to gather. Likewise, all you have to do is wait while holding onto the covenant and then challenge.
2. A Remnant Who Knows the Reason
The 7 Remnants in the Bible, the disciples in Babylon, and the members of the Early Church knew the reason why they needed to share the Gospel to powerful nations. As a result, God worked through them. They knew the flow of the Three Feasts(Passover, Pentecost, and Ingathering) and the completion of the three incidents(Mt. Calvary, Mt. of Olives, and Mark’s upper room). The assembly of those who knew these facts in the Early Church was a different gathering, and works arose when they became scattered. Furthermore, the amazing works of reproduction took place through them.
3. A Remnant Who Possesses a Different Reason
A Remnant knows the reason why the absolute impossibility can become the absolute possibility. In the name of Jesus, Peter healed the lame beggar whom nobody else could heal(Acts 3:1~12). Philip proclaimed the Gospel in the place where nobody else could go(Acts 8:4~8). The moment Paul was commissioned as a missionary, not only did he heal diseases that nobody else could(Acts 13:5~12), he healed those who were demon-possessed, mentally ill(Acts 16:16~18), and even diseases that could not be treated with medicine(Acts 19:8~20).
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, knowing the fact that it is only possible with the absolute Gospel, may I be used as an absolute disciple for this Gospel movement.
