The Gospel of Jesus Christ

God loves you and wants you to experience eternal peace and life that is through Jesus Christ.

The Gospel is the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died for all of our sins, rose again and conquered death once and for all.

What is the Good News of Jesus?

1. God is the creator and ruler over all.

Romans 1:20-21 “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

2. No one is righteous.

Romans 3:10 “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.”

3. We have all sinned and fall short of His standard of perfect, holy and righteousness.

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”

4. The penalty for sinfulness has already been set. But God has provided a gift through grace of eternal life.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

5. God’s love is so great for us that He gave us His only Son as a sacrifice for the sins of all humanity.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

6. Confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and believing (placing your faith/trust in) in Him for the forgiveness of your sins provides you with salvation.

Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

7. There is only ONE way to receive salvation: Faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

Romans 10:13 “…for ‘Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 5:1 “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Call out to God in the name of Jesus!

“Dear Almighty God, I know I am a sinner. I know my sin deserves to be punished. I believe Christ is the Son of God, who died for me and rose from the grave. I want to turn from my sin and trust Jesus Christ alone as my Saviour. Thank you for your forgiveness and everlasting life. I can now have faith in Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

If you know that God is knocking on your heart’s door, ask Him to come into your heart. Repent of your sins. Believe in Him. Ask Him to come into your heart by faith, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you!
