The GOSPEL, part 2
Various Texts
Our Mission
• As followers of Jesus we are called to share with the world the truth of:
– Who Jesus is
– What Jesus has done
• This message is called the Gospel
– The Good News
– The heart of this message can be summarized in the GOSPEL acronym
The GOSPEL
• God created us to be with Him
• Our sins separate us from God
• Sins cannot be removed by good deeds
• Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again
• Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life
• Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever
Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again
• Jesus’ sinless death paid the debt for all our sins (1 John 2:1-2)
– Propitiation: appeasement
• As our sinful nature makes us “children of wrath” (Eph. 2:3)
• Jesus took on the punishment that our sins deserved
• His resurrection is proof of His victory over sin and death (1 Cor. 15:54-57)
Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life
• Christ gives eternal life through faith in Him (John 3:16; Rom. 6:23)
• This is all God’s doing, not ours
- Grace: A free, unmerited gift
Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever
• The life Jesus offers us begins now (John 5:24; 10:28)
• We will experience it fully with Christ’s return and our resurrection (1 Cor. 15:52)
So What?
• We are called to share the Good News of Jesus with the world
• Do you know the truth of the Gospel well enough to share it?
