What is the Gospel?
God – Who is He?
We have an awesome creator God who has made everything seen and unseen. He has ultimate authority and knows how we should live to experience life on earth to the fullest. The best news is that God loves all persons, He desires that each of us have an unbroken relationship with Him.
- Genesis 1:1
- John 1:1-5
- Colossians 1:16-17
- Romans 5:8
Our Sin – What is it?
Simply put, sin is “missing the mark”. Sin is anything and everything that goes against God and His plan for our lives. Everyone does it and there is nothing we can do in our power to escape the punishment of death that comes from it.
- James 4:17
- 1 John 1:8-10
- Romans 3:23
- Isaiah 59:2
Sufficient Sacrifice – Why did Jesus come?
What we cannot do for ourselves, God has done for us! Our sin is a barrier between us and God, so God sent his one and only Son Jesus into this world to save us. The Gospel, “Good News”, is that Jesus died on the cross for us and then rose from the dead to demonstrate that His payment was acceptable to God. By taking our punishment on Himself, Jesus made a way for us to return to a perfect relationship with Him!
- 1 John 2:2
- Philippians 2:6-11
- Isaiah 53:1-12
- Hebrews 9:27-28
Personal Response – How do I respond?
Faith is trusting in what Jesus has done for us rather than trusting our own efforts to restore a relationship with God. We must turn away from our sin ,and old lives to pursue new life through Jesus!
- Romans 10:9-13
- Luke 5:32
- Ephesians 2:4-10
- Mark 16:16
Eternal Life – What does this mean for me?
You are now a child of God! You will spend eternity with God all because of His great love for you and the grace shown to you through Jesus. The Holy Spirit has been set as a Helper to you, so that you can begin to live a life that honors God!
- John 3:16
- Revelation 21:4-7
- Proverbs 8:32-36
- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Life Transformed – Where do I go from here?
You are now a new creation and your journey is just beginning! It may seem overwhelming, but you don’t have to start sprinting. It is time to start with small steps toward becoming more and more like Jesus through reading the Bible, prayer, joining a church (we would love to have you!), and serving others.
- Romans 12:1-2
- 2 Corinthians 5:14-21
- Galatians 5:16-25
- James 1:19-27
