The GOSPEL, part 1
Various Texts
Our Mission
• As followers of Jesus we are called to share with the world the truth of:
– Who Jesus is
– What Jesus has done
• This message is called the Gospel
– The Good News
– The heart of this message can be summarized in the GOSPEL acronym
The GOSPEL
• God created us to be with Him
• Our sins separate us from God
• Sins cannot be removed by good deeds
• Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again
• Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life
• Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever
God created us to be with Him
• Humans were created by God (Gen 1:27)
• We were made to be with Him (Ps. 100:3)
Our sins separate us from God
• We are all sinners
- Sin: Disobeying God’s commands
- We were born as sinner (Eph. 2:3)
- We choose to sin (1 John 1:8, 10)
• Sin separates us from God (Isa. 59:2; Rom. 3:23)
- In our sin, we do not give God the glory that He is due
Sins cannot be removed by good deeds
• Regardless of how good we act, we cannot pay the debt that our sins have earned us (Rom 6:23a; Isa. 64:6)
• We must rely on God to act on our behalf (Eph 2:8-9)
So What?
• We are called to share the Good News of Jesus with the world
• Do you know the truth of the Gospel well enough to share it?
• Do you believe the Gospel and are you living it out?
