THE GOSPEL IN WORDS ALL CAN UNDERSTAND!

THE GOSPEL:  GOD'S MESSAGE THAT CAN SAVE THE LOST!

[All Scripture is presented as I understand God's Word]

Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:  as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

1 Corinthians 1:17-18 - For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel:  not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.

JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WAS CRUCIFIED!

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 John 4:9 - In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His Only Begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION WAS TO PAY FOR OUR SINS!

1 Corinthians 15:3 - For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.

1 John 2:2 - And He is the payment for our sins:  and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

HAVING DIED ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL, JESUS WAS BURIED!

Acts 2:22-23 - You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.

Matthew 27:59-60 - And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock:  and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

1 Corinthians 15:4 - And He was buried.

DEATH COULD NOT HOLD THE SON OF GOD:  HE AROSE!

Acts 2:24 - Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death:  because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

Acts 5:30 - The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, Whom you slew and hanged on a tree.

GOD HAS DECLARED JESUS TO BE LORD AND SAVIOR!

Acts 2:36 - Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made that same Jesus, Whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Acts 5:31 - Him has God exalted with His right hand to be Lord and Savior.

FAITH IN THE JESUS OF THE GOSPEL IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!

John 14:6 - Jesus said unto him, I AM The Way, I AM The Truth, and I AM The Life:  no one comes unto the Father, but by Me.

Acts 4:10-12 - Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him does this man stand here before you whole.  Jesus is the Stone which was rejected by you builders, Who is become the head of the corner.  Neither is there salvation in any other:  for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Romans 10:9-11 - If you will declare with your mouth your faith in the Lord Jesus, and truly believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.  For with the heart man believes and is declared to be righteous; and with the declaration of his faith, he receives the gift of salvation.  For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes in Him shall not be ashamed.
