GOOD NEWS

The gospel means Good News, therefore the gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. The Gospel is God’s Good news proclaimed to us mankind. It is His (God’s) News to deliver mankind from their just eternal punishment for their sins, and to bring them (us, humanity) forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all those who will believe in the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. All those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior will be saved by God everlastingly. This is God’s message that He is declaring to the world through the word of God. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the proclaiming of the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Christ Jesus. There is no other gospel than this, there never has been and there never will be. Jesus is the Savior of the world and He is the only Savior.

The good news is that God’s Son (Jesus Christ) came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). Yes He Jesus Christ is the sinner’s Savior. Jesus (who is the Son of God) died for all your sins on the cross, thus taking your punishment for them in full from God the Father, in so that you won’t have to when you meet the Lord God on judgment day. And most importantly He (Jesus) arose from His grave! What this means is that He (Jesus) conquered sin, defeated death, hell, and the grave for you when He died on that cross for you and when He resurrected bodily from His grave!

The bible declares that God is love (1 John 4:8), not that God can love, or not that God might love, but that He is the very expression of it’s meaning. But the bible also says something else, the bible says that all human beings are sinners in (Romans 3:23), and this is man’s problem from God’s perspective. The bible says all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. If you were honest with yourself you would know and admit that you have sinned multiple times against God over and over again. Now, because of that sin or sins that we all have committed against God, we have now been separated from God as a result of our disobedience to him. And the bible clearly teaches that we cannot fix this separation from God in it of our selves. The bible clearly teaches us that man cannot save himself from his own depraved sinful condition (Jeremiah 17:9) (Proverbs 14:12) (John 8:34) (James 2:10) (Isaiah 64:6) (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Titus 3:5-7) (1 Timothy 2:4-6) (John 14:6) (Acts 4:12). In the word of God there are devastating consequences that is given to man for his sins. Let’s just look at a few of these consequences together here below.
