What is the Gospel?

Here is a summary of the Gospel (the good news) from a resource called Grace Evangelism:

I. God is holy

• He is Creator (Gen 1:1) and Owner (1 Corinthians 10:26) of everything
• He is perfectly holy (1 Peter 1:16; 1 Sam 2:2)
• He requires perfect obedience to His law (Matt. 5:48)

II. Man is guilty

• Everyone has broken God’s law (Rom. 3:10, 23; Mt. 5:21-22, 27-28; James 2:10)
• The penalty for sin is eternal death (Rom. 6:23; Ps 5:5)
• Good works or intentions will not save anyone (Titus 3:5; Isa. 64:6, Eph. 2:8-9)
  

III. Christ is the Savior

• He is God (John 1:1,14; John 10:30; Col 2:9) yet became a sinless man (Heb 4:15)
• He died on the cross to provide salvation (2 Cor 5:21; John 3:16; 1 Pet 2:24; Col 2:13)
• He rose from the grave and is alive today (1 Cor 15:4)
  

IV. Sinners must repent

• Turn from all that dishonors God (Isa 55:6-7, Luke 9:23)
• Turn to Christ, believe in Him as Lord and Savior (Rom 10:9-10)
• Will you repent and believe in Christ or will you remain under His wrath? (Acts 17:30-31, John 3:36)
