The Gospel
God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to shed His blood on the cross and died for our sins.
Was buried in the ground.
And rose again from the dead three days later.
I Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
The Gospel is a ‘FREE GIFT’
The gospel is a free gift because everything that God the Father required for the payment of mankind’s sin was accomplished through God the Son. By and through Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and reserrection.
‘For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.’
II Corinthians 5:21
‘being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ‘
Romans 3:24
‘and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; ‘
Philippians 3:9
Salvation is a Free Gift
Romans 6:23
‘For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.’
Romans 5:15
“But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one (this is Adam) many (or all as the Scripture says in other places) be dead, much more the grace of God,…”
Romans 5:16
“And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one (Adam) to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.”
Romans 5:18
“Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”
