What is The Good News?
The word gospel means "GOOD NEWS," so the gospel of Christ is the good news that He has provided forgiveness of sins for all who will believe (Colossians 1:14; Romans 10:9). Since the first man's sin, mankind has been under the condemnation of God (Romans 5:12). And because everyone breaks God's perfect law by committing sin, everyone is guilty (Romans 3:23).
BUT God has provided GRACE through His son Jesus Christ.
John 1:7 says "For the Law was given through Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."
The bad news that all are guilty of sin and condemned by God is countered by the gospel, THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST. God, because of His love for the world, has made a way for man to be forgiven of their sins (John 3:16). He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the sins of mankind on Himself through death on a cross (1 Peter 2:24). In placing our sin on Christ, God ensured that all who will believe in the name of Jesus will be forgiven (Acts 10:43). At the cross there was an exchange: Jesus took our sin and has given us His righteousness. (2 Cor. 5:21)
Romans 5:17 tells us that those who recieve this abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life. Under the law you are defeated but under Grace you win!
​
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that God provided the way for man to be freed from the penalty of sin (John 14:6; Romans 6:23). Because the penalty has been paid for by Jesus Christ, we now have peace with God. (Rom. 5:1) And that's GOOD NEWS!
So are you ready to receive this gift of salvation by putting your trust in Jesus?
To accept Christ into your life and be saved, please say this salvation prayer:
“Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love for me, for sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for all my sins. I believe that Jesus is your son and His precious blood washes me clean. You raised Him from the dead. He’s alive today. And I thank You all my sins are forgiven. I’m righteous by the blood. I’m under God’s grace. And I thank You Father that surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life from this day forth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
