Gospel means good news. Here it is, unfiltered.
1. God is holy
He made you, He knows you, and He is perfectly good and perfectly just. (Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 6:3)
2. We are not
Every one of us has sinned. Lied, lusted, hated, lived for ourselves. Sin isn’t a slip-up. It’s rebellion against God, and it cuts us off from Him.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“The wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23
3. Jesus came for us
God didn’t leave us there. Jesus, God the Son, became a man and lived the sinless life we never could. Then He died on the cross in our place and took the punishment we deserved.
“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
4. He rose
On the third day Jesus walked out of the grave, alive. Sin and death lost. (1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
5. It’s a gift
You can’t earn it, work for it or clean yourself up enough for it.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
“The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
6. Your response
Turn from your sin and put your trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
Whoever comes to Him, He will never turn away. (John 6:37)
New life starts now
Talk to God. Read the Bible, starting with the Gospel of John. Find a church that teaches it, and ask about baptism (Matthew 28:19). If you just gave your life to Jesus, tell someone. We’d love to hear it too: message us on Instagram.
