THE GOSPEL


 
The Gospel is the Good News.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
Died for our sins and rose again by the power of God,
Eternally triumphant over His enemies.
 
There is therefore, no condemnation for those who believe,
But only everlasting joy, life like God’s life.
That’s the Gospel.
Salvation is a gift from God and we can add nothing to it.
 
It is God’s Gospel. 
God made the first move.
There was nothing we could do to reach God.
Instead God reached down to us and offered us the free gift of life in Jesus. 
 
Jesus is our redeemer.
Jesus delivers us from death to life. 
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
There is no other way to the Father. 
 
The Father sent Jesus,
His only son, to the earth.
It was the only way,
And it was entirely God the Father’s doing. 
 
Everything we know about the Gospel comes from God.
The truth of the Gospel does not depend on the church.  It does not depend on us,
It does not depend on any denomination.  It is from God. 
We base what we say on the authority of God’s Word. 
 
Jesus was fully God and fully man.
He perfectly obeyed God’s law.
He perfectly fulfilled God’s will. 
He died in our place.  He was our substitute and paid the price of our sin.
 
He rose from the dead on the third day.
He was seen by over 500 people.
He ascended into heaven to sit at the right had of the Father.
He didn’t leave us alone, He sent the Holy Spirit, our comforter. 
 
Therefore, we trust in Jesus alone for our salvation.
It is complete in Him.
We renounce self-trust, works, and admit our sinfulness.
We confess our need and cry out to Jesus to save us from our sins.
