Christ’s work is multifaceted, and the Fourfold Gospel reveals the fullness of His mission. Firstly, He came as our Savior to redeem us from sin. Secondly, He works as our Sanctifier to transform and renew our hearts. Thirdly, He acts as our Healer, restoring us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Finally, He returns as the Coming King, promising a future of hope and eternal peace. In this guide, we explore these four roles and show how they shape our faith and daily lives.
1. Christ as Our Savior: Redeeming Us from Sin
The foundation of the Gospel begins with Jesus as our Savior. Humanity was lost in sin, but through His sacrificial death and resurrection, Christ redeemed us, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God. His work on the cross was not just an act of love but a divine plan to restore us to righteousness.
- “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” – Luke 19:10
- Through faith in Him, we receive grace, mercy, and the promise of eternal life.
2. Christ as Our Sanctifier: Transforming Our Hearts
Salvation is just the beginning—Christ continues to work in us as our Sanctifier. Sanctification is the ongoing process of becoming more like Christ, where His Spirit purifies our hearts and minds, shaping us into His image.
- As we grow in faith, we learn to walk in holiness, leaving behind sin and embracing righteousness.
- The Holy Spirit empowers us to live a life of obedience and spiritual growth.
- “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.” – 1 Peter 1:15
3. Christ as Our Healer: Restoring Body, Mind, and Spirit
Jesus is also our Healer, bringing restoration not just to our souls but to our bodies and emotions. Throughout His ministry, He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, and restored the brokenhearted. Today, He continues to offer healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
- “By His wounds, we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5
- Many have experienced the power of prayer and divine intervention in times of illness and hardship.
- Healing also extends to emotional wounds, bringing peace to those struggling with fear, anxiety, or grief.
4. Christ as the Coming King: Our Hope for the Future
The final role of Christ in the Fourfold Gospel is His return as the Coming King. The Bible promises that Jesus will come again to establish His eternal kingdom, bringing justice, peace, and everlasting joy.
- “Behold, I am coming soon!” – Revelation 22:12
- This hope encourages believers to remain faithful and steadfast, trusting in His ultimate victory over sin and death.
- His second coming will usher in a new heaven and earth, where suffering and pain will be no more.
