the Goal of the Gospel

this song quite impresses with me the real and true goal of the gospel. we may think that to preach the gospel is to get people to believe into the Lord and be saved. this is of course correct, but not adequate. it is not enough just to believe and be saved. but as the believers of Christ, the goal is to love the Lord with our first love, and pour out all that we are and we have upon the Lord, like Mary, who broke her precious alabaster flask to anoint the head of the Lord. Mary gave all that she had to the Lord. we also need to give, to pour out everything upon the Lord, as the sweet fragrance to testify the sweetness and preciousness of the Lord, who is the most valuable Person, who is the treasure of our heart.
