What is the Gospel?

by @alyssa-underwood

The GOOD NEWS that God has done for us what we could NEVER do for ourselves by sending His own Son to become a man, Christ Jesus, to live a perfectly righteous life in complete fulfillment of God’s holy law and to die for our sins on the cross as our substitutionary sacrifice (“the righteous for the unrighteous”), bearing and satisfying the just wrath of God deserved by us ALL   (for against Him our hearts are each naturally and treasonously rebellious), and resurrecting Him from the dead so that THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS we can be saved from the penalty of our sinful rebellion (eternal damnation and separation from the grace of God) and saved from the power of our sinful rebellion to instead live a NEW LIFE in intimate relationship with Him, surrendered now to Him, with all of our sins forgiven, covered with His own perfect righteousness because of His complete and finished work for which we who believe receive a full credit, and therefore (by grace alone) in perfect standing and unchanging acceptance before God in His holiness, at peace with the Father wholly, indwelt and empowered by God's Spirit to live for Him and His glory and His kingdom, now and eternally.

Notes

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

~ 1 John 4:10

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind… The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth… ’…the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’”

~ John 1:1-4,14,29b

“God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”

~ 2 Corinthians 5:21

“Surely He took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered Him punished by God,

stricken by Him, and afflicted.

But He was pierced for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,

and by His wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to our own way;

and the LORD has laid on Him

the iniquity of us all.”

~ Isaiah 53:4-6

“He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.”

~ Romans 4:25-5:2

“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… Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”

~ John 3:16,36
