1st Corinthians 15:1-6, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”
Here is the gospel: God says that we are sinners and that no
amount of good works or behavioral changes on our part could ever
make us holy enough to enter heaven. God sent His Son to pay for
all of our sins. Jesus paid for our crimes by dying on the cross for
us all. His dead body was buried in a grave. On the third day, Jesus
arose from the dead. The instant you believe this, He knows it and He saves you.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me hath everlasting life” (John 6:47).
The free gift is based solely upon your trust
in what Jesus did for you and has nothing at all to do with what you
do for Him.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
If you have never received Jesus Christ as your Savior dear reader, please do it now. Simply by childlike faith receive Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins. Believe that Jesus did it all for you friend! Jesus died in your place (and mine) on the cross. He was buried and then after three days of being dead, God raised up the blessed Savior. That is the GOOD NEWS (Gospel). BELIEVE IT, oh sinner, and the work is done, you are saved! John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Simply BELIEVE THE 'GOOD NEWS' of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen and you are born again!
