The Gospel
Hey y’all I just wanted to make this super short and simple so you can understand the gospel.
There are 6 part of the gospel
Jesus - Son of God
Jesus - his crucifixion
Jesus - his resurrection
Grace - not works
Repentence
Believing
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that you won’t perish and could have everlasting life. (John 3:16) So in the beginning of time sin came into the world from the Devil and disrupted humanity. Imagine sin like a virus in a computer, that’s what sin is. That’s where we get killing, diseases cancer and all of those bad things. Sin basically means missing the mark of perfection. Because God is perfect.
This is why God provided the Law to show us that we couldn’t live up to it and that we needed a savior. This is why God sent his son Jesus into the world to RESTORE humanity. Since humanity is broken, Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. He dies for our past, future and current sin.
Because the wages of sin is death. Our sins is something we deserve death for it but because of God’s forgiveness our sins wont lead us into death for eternity. All we have to do is put our faith in Jesus. Not by our works. It’s by faith alone because of what he did on the cross. (Ephesians 2:8)
The great exchange happened on the cross. Jesus gave us his righteousness in exchange for our sin. He became all that you were so that you can become all that your not.
In the Old Testament they had to-sacrifice animals to get forgiveness (atonement) but Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice on the cross so all we have to do is repent (meaning to turn away, feeling sorrow and to change our minds) for our sins and believe in him. If it’s by our works then we can get full credit for going to heaven but God gets all the credit.
Jesus died on the cross and on the 3rd day after he rose from the dead. If you accept Jesus today, the power that rose Jesus from the dead lives directly inside of you (Romans 8:11 ).This means you have resurrection power, there is nothing impossible with God. Through him you can do all things and apart from him you can’t do nothing that bears fruit.
We either have two choices to go after we die, heaven with God or punishment with the Devil. God is sending us a free gift. Choose God today. He loves you. There is truly nothing to lose but everything to gain. Just like a father who wants a relationship with a son and daughter. He wants a relationship with you.
God bless you.
Prayer for Salvation
If you are reading this and haven’t made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, I would like to give you an opportunity to do that now. Don’t wait, tomorrow is never promised as He gave us this day our daily bread. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.
In John 3:16 -18 it says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only son.”
You didn’t read this whole post or get to this point by chance. All your steps are ordained by the Lord. God doesn’t want you to go to the lake of fire or punishment with the devil. He wants you to live with him.
Repeat after me in your heart or out loud:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins on a cross and rose from the dead. I turn and repent from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. Take me and make me what you want me to be. Make me what you want me to be. I believe that I am born again. I believe you love me and I’m on my way to heaven and will enjoy the journey. I put my trust in you as my Lord and Savior.. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Congratulations! Today is a new day! You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. You might have felt something or you might have felt nothing, but what was planted in you is a seed of faith that will grow into a strong tree if you let it.
The next step for you is to get a Bible. Read the Book of John and the Gospels and get plugged into a local church and a bible study.
