THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

What is the gospel?

The word gospel literally means “good news” and occurs 93 times in the Bible, exclusively in the New Testament. In Greek, it is the word euaggelion, from which we get our English words evangelist, evangel, and evangelical. The gospel is, broadly speaking, the whole of Scripture; more narrowly, the gospel is the good news concerning Christ and the way of salvation.

The key to understanding the gospel is to know why it’s good news. To do that, we must start with the bad news. The Old Testament Law was given to Israel during the time of Moses (Deuteronomy 5:1). The Law can be thought of as a measuring stick, and sin is anything that falls short of “perfect” according to that standard. The righteous requirement of the Law is so stringent that no human being could possibly follow it perfectly, in letter or in spirit. Despite our “goodness” or “badness” relative to each other, we are all in the same spiritual boat—we have sinned, and the punishment for sin is death, i.e. separation from God, the source of life (Romans 3:23). In order for us to go to heaven, God’s dwelling place and the realm of life and light, sin must be somehow removed or paid for. The Law established the fact that cleansing from sin can only happen through the bloody sacrifice of an innocent life (Hebrews 9:22).

The gospel involves Jesus’ death on the cross as the sin offering to fulfill the Law’s righteous requirement (Romans 8:3–4; Hebrews 10:5–10). Under the Law, animal sacrifices were offered year after year as a reminder of sin and a symbol of the coming sacrifice of Christ (Hebrews 10:3–4). When Christ offered Himself at Calvary, that symbol became a reality for all who would believe (Hebrews 10:11–18). The work of atonement is finished now, and that’s good news.

The gospel also involves Jesus’ resurrection on the third day. “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25). The fact that Jesus conquered sin and death (sin’s penalty) is good news, indeed. The fact that He offers to share that victory with us is the greatest news of all (John 14:19).

The elements of the gospel are clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 15:3–6, a key passage concerning the good news of God: “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living.” Notice, first, that Paul “received” the gospel and then “passed it on”; this is a divine message, not a man-made invention. Second, the gospel is “of first importance.” Everywhere the apostles went, they preached the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Third, the message of the gospel is accompanied by proofs: Christ died for our sins (proved by His burial), and He rose again the third day (proved by the eyewitnesses). Fourth, all this was done “according to the Scriptures”; the theme of the whole Bible is the salvation of mankind through Christ. The Bible is the gospel.

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). The gospel is a bold message, and we are not ashamed of proclaiming it. It is a powerful message, because it is God’s good news. It is a saving message, the only thing that can truly reform the human heart. It is a universal message, for Jews and Gentiles both. And the gospel is received by faith; salvation is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8–9).

The gospel is the good news that God loves the world enough to give His only Son to die for our sin (John 3:16). The gospel is good news because our salvation and eternal life and home in heaven are guaranteed through Christ (John 14:1–4). “He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:3–4).

The gospel is good news when we understand that we do not (and cannot) earn our salvation; the work of redemption and justification is complete, having been finished on the cross (John 19:30). Jesus is the propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2). The gospel is the good news that we, who were once enemies of God, have been reconciled by the blood of Christ and adopted into the family of God (Romans 5:10; John 1:12). “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1). The gospel is the good news that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

To reject the gospel is to embrace the bad news. Condemnation before God is the result of a lack of faith in the Son of God, God’s only provision for salvation. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son” (John 3:17–18). God has given a doomed world good news: the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

The Gospel, only bible verses.

[samuelbrock]

I have committed many sins that come back to the front of my thoughts to remind me how gracious our God is. I asked God to forgive me as soon as it comes to the forefront of my thoughts. I am very thankful that God reminds my of them to keep me grounded in the holy name of our savior Jesus Christ🙏🏼

[olushayotriumph]

In sin my mother conceived me, in iniquity I was born and in unrighteousness my thoughts were formed. The Lord Jesus saved and brought me to repentance and blessed me with a heart that longs and thirst after righteousness and holiness.

For anyone who hasn't seen this sermon on brokenness, it is well worth it to listen to it.

[SoJustme-]

Yes he’s absolutely correct…I remember things I did as a child that still grieve me to this day…not to mention the things I did as a young woman in adulthood-it reminds me of how far my Lord Jesus has brought me…

[pessimistprime]

Amen! I want to know my sins in order to take them seriously AND especially see more and more the depths of Hod’s mercy and love for us!!

[olushayotriumph]

Pr 28:13-14 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

14 Happy is the man who is always reverent,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Praise be to the Lord for Voddie. Bless. ❤

[lookinup]

Yep I can't remember. All of my sins is what keeps me close to God and what puts me in the fear of my heavenly father. I'm ashamed of my my sins prayer to the heavenly Lord that I don't go through these things again and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

[awakenchildofgod]

What about the good God does through us for God sake Let's cope and past that eternally in our minds

[FatT]

Voddie is Holy Fire as Richie the Clown Christian says

[isaacee]

If any man be in Christ... He is a NEW creation. OLD things have passed away. If God doesn't remember your sins, how do you think you commemorating your sins makes you more righteous???
This is the most emotional Christianity ever. Leave emotions, follow Faith.

This isn't biblical. In Psalms 51 David is praying a prayer of repentance, he is in the midst of turning back to God from his sin with Bathsheba, and the ensuing months of unrepentance, before the prophet Nathan rebuked him. This isn't years and years later and David is still lamenting over his mistake.

Jeremiah 31:34 "And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord, ’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Hebrews 8:12 "For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,

and I will remember their sins no more.”

If you are living in constant remembrance of your past sins and aren't letting them go, you aren't trusting in Christ's blood to purify you and wash you clean. The writer of the letter to the Hebrews puts it this way in Hebrews 10:1-10

"The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a]

8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."


Christ's blood purifies our consciences from our past mistakes, regrets, and sins so that we can come to God in Faith and worship Him (Hebrews 9:14). Some of what Voddie says is spot on, other times he's legalistic and looks at things almost from a Jewish perspective. If you have believe in Jesus, your sins are cleansed and washed away. If you have been living in sin, yes be broken up about it, return with a broken and contrite heart and ask for mercy and forgiveness. But once you do, don't carry the weight around with you of something you've already been forgiven for. When you confessed, He forgave. 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

"The goodness of god" like being disappointed in his children so he decides to drown them all except a wife stealing alcoholic & his family, sounds moral to me.
