Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (John 3:16)
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 10:9, “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.”
Romans 10:13, “for “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.””
The Gospel (or Good News) is simply the beautiful picture of what Christ did for us on the Cross and in the Resurrection. Jesus is fully God, He is equal with God, and is described in the Bible as the image of the invisible God. He came to Earth to die for us, a people who hate Him and are rebellious towards Him by our very nature. Despite our natural hatred for God, He died for US. Not just in a general sense, but in a personal sense. Jesus laid His life down on the Cross to be a sacrifice for your sins, so that you may be with Him for eternity in Heaven. How wonderful! And He not only died for your sins, but He also paid the price for the sins of the entire world, and He did it all in one cataclysmic moment that literally split time as we know it. And all He commands of us is that we place our trust (our faith) in Him for salvation.
The ultimate climax of the Gospel is seen in Christ’s Resurrection. Historical records and the Bible testify to the fact that Jesus actually rose from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion, and that people witnessed His Resurrected form in person. This historically reliable fact authenticates our faith in Him and gives us further confidence that when we genuinely call on Him, He will come through for us and save our souls (Romans 10:13). We know we can trust God’s Word and Christ because of the resurrection. It is in this miraculous act of Christ coming back to life that we base our faith.
