The Gospel

The gospel is pretty simple. You and I are sinners; because of our sin, we deserve and are headed to hell. God loves the world so much that He gave his own Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us in our place. Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

Instead of me trying to go into detail and explain, I figure why not let the Bible speak for itself. Read through each verse carefully.

What is Sin?

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1 John 3:4

Who Has Sinned?

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Romans 3:10-12

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 3:23

What is the Penalty of Sin?

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23

How Has God Handled Sin?

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1 Peter 3:18

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:16-17

What Must We Do To Be Saved?

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Acts 16:30-31

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:9-10

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:24
