The Good
News is God truly loves you! It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Biblically,
the “Gospel” means Good News.
The Gospel
is good news because it saves you from eternal judgment by a Holy God.
If you’re
going to pick a God, pick a good one! The God of
the Bible is Holy, meaning He is perfect and always good. God created
humans in His Own image with eternal souls. God also
created humans with a “free-will” to choose. And when a
person chooses to disobey God, whether in thought or deed, he or she
sins against God. Every
person who ever lived on earth, except for Jesus Christ, has sinned against
God. God’s
greatest commandment is every person love God with all their heart, soul, mind,
and strength.
Every person has fallen short of God’s glory and commandments.
Just like
oil can not mix with water, a Holy perfect God can not associate with
imperfections (sins) and God must judge every person to eternal punishment.
No one can
work, by their own efforts, to escape the judgment of a Holy God. How then can one be saved?
The Good
News is Jesus Christ, because only through Jesus Christ can one be saved from
God’s eternal judgment. God knew, even from the time of Creation, that every
person was going to disobey Him. Why did God create people then? - to share His love through Jesus Christ!
God knew He
had to give His Perfect Holy Son Jesus Christ to die for people’s sin.
This is
“agape” love (a self-sacrificial love)!
The Good
News is if you believe in what Jesus did for you (became man, died for your
sins but on the third day rose from the dead) and believe that He is your God, you
will be saved from judgment and live forever in heaven with God!
This
personal belief takes faith, for believing in Jesus Christ “clothes you” in
righteousness. In other
words, when you believe in Jesus Christ, God sees you perfect in Jesus Christ! A true
believer of Jesus Christ has a “personal relationship” with God. Without
Jesus Christ in your life, you can not have a relationship with God.
And because
the reality of the Good News takes faith and faith without action is dead, true
believers should be yielding to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
The Good
News of salvation through Jesus Christ is a free gift.
All we have
to do is accept Jesus Christ into our lives!
God will
reveal His Good News to every person on earth. No one will
have an excuse for being judged.
Therefore,
NOW is the time to accept the Good News!
Talk to
God, confess your sins, and accept forgiveness through Jesus Christ!
