Gospel of Christ Jesus (#2 and last)

Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried.  On the third day God raised Jesus from the dead.  Jesus died in our place and accepted the wrath of God for the sins of all men, past, present and future.

1 Peter 3:18 – (Jesus died to bring man to God) – For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.

Romans 3:23 – (all have sinned and all are saved by faith) – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

By His grace God has provided a way of salvation for man at great cost to Himself because He loves us.  But you must believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, was crucified and raised from the dead by God and now sits at the right hand of God in heaven.  You must confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, repent of your sins, and commit your life to Jesus.

Romans 10:9 – (confession) – That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Mark 1:15 – (Jesus declares the good news) – The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand, Repent, and believe in the gospel.

John 10:10 – (Jesus has come to give life) – The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

John 1:12 – (those who receive Jesus become children of God) – But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

I believe we are put on this earth to seek out God, find His salvation, and live out our lives witnessing and emulating Christ to the glory of our Father in heaven.

Micah 6:8 – (do right, love mercy and walk humbly with God) – He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Galatians 6:7 – (whatever a man sows, that will he also reap) – Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he shall also reap.

Ephesians 2:10 – (God prepared good works for us to do) – For we are all His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
