The Gospel

(1Co 15:1) "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved…,) The Gospel is the wonderful story of the love and grace of God, whereby God sent His Son Jesus to die a substitutionary death for the sins of all men. We should have died on that cross, we deserve Hell, for we are the guilty sinners not Jesus. 1) The Gospel is a (Story) of love & grace. 2) The Gospel is a continuing (Saga). A tale of love, forgiveness, and the promise of God to every generation, that "whosoever" desires salvation regardless of race, religion, or the depth of one's sin, God will provide it freely in Jesus Christ, but it is also a continuing saga of rejection. Unfortunately in every generation there are those that scoff and attempt to disprove Jesus, his Gospel, and his Word. 3) The Gospel is the (Sovereign) way by which God calls all men to salvation. Jesus said, "Many are called but few are chosen." We preach Jesus crucified, buried, and then risen for the sins of all mankind. If anyone desires to be saved they must trust in his Gospel and Jesus!
