have you heard the good news of the gospel?
We live in a fallen world, full of sin and there is no one good, not one. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
But God loved us so much, He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit through a virgin, to live a completely perfect, sinless life.
He lived a life focused on the Father’s will- a perfect example. Yet, Jesus was hated by the very people He came to save.
He denied His flesh, was crucified on the cross, bearing our sins-completely satisfying the wrath of God for all who place their trust in Jesus. He was buried and rose again three days later.
“For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
-1 peter 3:18a
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16-17
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
“That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
-romans 10:9-10
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
-ephesians 2:8-9
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
-2 corinthians 5:17
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are in God's possession- to the praise of His glory.”
-ephesians 1:13-14
“Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
-john 14:6
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
-colossians 3:1-2
Jesus is coming soon!
Repent from your sin and turn to Him.
