Jesus told His disciples in Mark 16:15 to go into all the world “preach the gospel” to every creature.
The apostle Paul later stated in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.”
The word “gospel” means “good news.” It is simply the good news of Jesus Christ. The gospel is good news to the sinful man because of who Jesus Christ is and what He has done.
Jesus was miraculously born of a virgin.
Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Jesus is the sinless, Son of God.
Hebrews 4:14, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
Jesus died on the cross and made a blood atonement for the sin of the world.
1 Peter 1:18, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
Jesus victoriously resurrected to life three days after His crucifixion.
Ephesians 1:18, “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us- ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.”
He is soon returning to receive those who have put their trust in Him.
John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
What does it mean to be saved?
It is faith in this gospel of Christ for which man has the hope to be saved. Acts 16:31 says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Are you saved?
Have you put your faith in Jesus Christ alone for the salvation of your soul? It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that allows us to experience this wonderful grace of Jesus. Let us explain.
You can make that decision today by praying something in your heart like this:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner, and I confess that I cannot save myself. I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died and rose again for my sin. Right now, I receive you alone as my Savior and the way to eternal life. I ask you to forgive me of my sin and I now trust you as my Savior. Amen.
You will never regret the decision to follow Christ. Please contact us today if you made that decision. We’d like to send you some information that will help guide you on this journey called the Christian life.
