The Gospel is also the Good News. Why this news is GOOD when all the other news in this world is always bad? The saying is always, ‘No News is Good News’.
To answer this question, we can only look to the bible:
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 Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ~1 Corinthians 15:3-9~
Dear friends, this is the Good News, this is the Gospel.
It is this simple.
We being created in God’s image has sinned and fallen away from Him. He desires us now to be reconciled back to him and therefore, he sent his Son to point us back to Him, to endure the most violent execution in history in order to purify us of our sins and to intercede at the right hand of God for us today.
God resurrected Christ to give His approval for the work of the Cross so today Christians can boldly declare that the grave is empty and because He lives, they can face tomorrow. They are crucified with Christ and living for Him everyday…
The Gospel is easy to understand but difficult to live it out. As a child of God, I still need to work my spiritual life out with fear and trembling. Please pray for me in my spiritual journey with Christ. Thanks.
