THE GOSPEL: GOD'S MESSAGE OF LOVE!


THERE IS BUT ONE TRUE GOSPEL WITH THE POWER TO SAVE LOST SOULS!

Romans 1:1, 16 - Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God - - - For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes it; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentile; non-Jew).

Galatians 1:6-9 - I marvel that you are so soon removed from Him (The Father - Jn. 6:44; 1 Thes. 2:12; 2 Thes. 2:14; 1 Pet. 1:15; 2:9; etc.) that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:  which is not another (there is but one true Gospel - the definite article is used 86 times); but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.


THE GOSPEL!

1 Corinthians 15:1-6 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how 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:  and that He was seen of Cephas (by Peter), then of the twelve (by the twelve apostles):  after that, He was seen of above (by more than) five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep (some have since died).


SALVATION IS BY FAITH IN THE GOSPEL!

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified (made acceptable to God) by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified (made acceptable to God) by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law:  for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified (made acceptable to God).

Ephesians 2:8-9For by grace (unmerited, undeserved favor) are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us....

Romans 10:13-14, 17 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How then shall they call on Him in Whom they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard? - - - So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word (the Gospel) of God.


CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION;
IT IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!
