The Gospel Of Jesus Christ

The Bible defines the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 15.1-4, I declare unto you the gospel ... that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures: and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures; and that He was seen.

The bad news is that we are sinners. The good news is that Jesus Christ loves us, died for us and lives for us. The question is, How then can I be saved from sin? Here's the Bible answer:

The Bad News

 

        1. All have sinned and need to be saved from sin.

            Romans 3:10 There is none righteous, no, not one.

            Romans 3:23 All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

 

        2. Hell is the future for those not saved from sin.

            Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death.

            Revelation 20:15 Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

The Good News

 

        1. God provided a way of escape through being saved from sin.

            Romans 5:8 God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,

                 Christ died for us.

            Romans 6:23 The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

        2. We must believe in order to be saved from sin.

            Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in

                 thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

We must believe personally: thy mouth ... thine heart

We must believe doctrinally: the Lord Jesus ... God hath raised him

We must believe sincerely: believe in thine heart
