the gospel: go preach it to yourself

Every day of our Christian experience should be a day of relating to God on the basis of His grace alone. We are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day. This grace comes through Christ, "through whom we have gained acces by faith into this grace in which we now stand (Romans 5:2)."

We need to continue to hear the gospel every day of our Christian lives. Only a continous reminder of the gospel of God's grace through Christ will keep us from falling into good-day-bad-day thinking, wherein we think our daily relationship with God is based on how good we've been.
