10 Facts About The Word: The "Gospel" by topshore(f): 4:04pm On Jun 13, 2023
Scripture Text: 1 Corithians 15:1-5

The Gospel is also called in the Bible a "word," a "doctrine," a "seed," the "good news," and "the truth." Because God uses the word of the gospel to bring people back to himself, it must be taught, heard, understood, believed, confessed, and defended.

You might wonder what the word "Gospel" means when you want to learn more about God or tell other people about Him. And how do you make sense of it? Here are 10 things about the Gospel that you should know.

1. Meaning of the Gospel
It is also called "Good News"? The meaning of "Good News" can be found in 1 Corinthians 15:1–5, the Apostle Paul wrote, "I want to remind you of the gospel I taught to you, which you accepted and on which you have built your lives. By this faith, you will be saved if you stick to what I told you. Otherwise, you have trusted in vain. For what I learned, I passed on to you as the most important thing: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve [disciples]." Christ also showed up to other people, but the most important thing is that He died for our sins and rose again so that we can live forever.


2. The Gospel is very Simple
You will notice right away that the Gospel has two parts: Christ died for our sins, and then he came back to life.

3. The Gospel is not a Religion
Religion is how people try to find God. The Gospel is the good news that God is looking for lost people through Jesus Christ. Religion can only change how people look on the outside. The Gospel changes how people feel on the inside.

4. The Gospel is Free
No one can buy their way to God. It is a free gift from God, given to us when we put our faith in Christ.

5. The Gospel is for Everyone
It is called the "Gospel of our salvation" because it is "the power of God that saves everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16).

6. The Gospel will set you Free!
It's called the "Gospel of peace" because it brings peace between a criminal and God through Christ. Christ is the way for us to get to God.

7. The Gospel is Once and for All Time
It happened only once, and it will never happen again. It was a one-time thing that gives us a way to live forever now and always.

8. The Gospel is Unique
The most important thing that sets our faith in God apart from other religions is that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

9. The Gospel Has Been Fulfilled
Through the Gospel, Jesus Christ made peace with God by dying on the cross 2,000 years ago, and we are just living in that peace. We need not do anything more but to just submit our lives to Christ and serve Him alone.

10. The Gospel can be Received
If you accept Christ, He will accept you, and you will find that this Gospel, which talks about His death, burial, and resurrection, is the power of God for eternal salvation. "He gave the right to become God's children to all who received Him and believed in His name" (John 1:12).

God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Do you want to accept Jesus Christ? The Gospel is presented to you today for you to receive wholeheartedly.

Just say this short prayer:

"Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You now, come into my life, take control of my life, and change my world. I say bye-bye to the devil, and I enter into the Kingdom of Light. Thank You Jesus, in Jesus name I pray: amen!

Congratulations!!!

Peace!

The love of God for us


John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.


When Adam sinned, he lost the direct access he initially had with God. (Genesis 3) God decided to send his only begotten son (Jesus) to pay the price for our sins on the cross of calvary because of his love for us. When Christ resurrected, he restored all privileges that we once had and brought redemption to us all. All we need is to believe that he died for our sin and has once again granted us direct access with God. No longer through an intermediary! (Mathew 27:50-53).

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If our earthly parents care so much for us, how much more our father in heaven! (Luke 11:11-13). God’s love for us is infinite. He has promised to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philipians 4:19).


Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, I accept and acknowledge you as my personal lord and savior. I sincerely ask that you forgive my sins. Come into my life and pour out your spirit on me. By faith, I receive the promise of the father, which is the holy spirit. (John 14:16) I thank you for the price that you paid for me on the cross of calvary. Thank you for my redemption. I pray that your power, grace and favor will abide with me now and forever more. Amen.
