The most important gospel truth

The most important truth: Jesus is the propitiation (or payment) for our sins (1John 2:2, Romans 3:25). This fact alone excludes all forms of self-righteousness and works for salvation. We must rest in Jesus' finished work alone for salvation, in order for it to be free.

It is vital to present this fact when giving out the gospel. People need to understand they are saved by Christ's payment for their sins, and not by their own efforts (which are insufficient, us being imperfect people). Only Jesus' blood can atone and wash away our sins. Thus we must trust the blood of Jesus alone without adding any works to the gospel!

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it (New Jerusalem or heaven) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

And from Jesus Christ, who ... washed us from our sins in his own blood (by faith in the gospel), - Revelation 21:27, 1:5

Revelation 21:27 makes it clear that imperfect people cannot enter heaven. Revelation 1:5 in contrast says that only those who are washed in the blood of Christ (the believers of the gospel) can enter heaven (new Jerusalem). Thus only those who have put their faith and trust a 100% in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Being washed from our sins through faith in Jesus' blood as payment (or atonement) for our sins makes us righteous and perfect before God, spiritually. Thus salvation is a free gift, paid for by Jesus' blood, and this gift is applied and given ''to them that believe on His name'' for salvation (Romans 1:16, 1 John 5:13).

The romans road - 5 steps to salvation

How to preach the gospel (the free gift of eternal life) - 1. All have sinned - For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God - this means we're all sinners. So we've all lied, stolen or coveted something... 2. The punishment for sin - And the Bible says there's a consequence (or punishment) for our sins. For the wages of sin is death ... This is not just a physical death but also a second death in hell. And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. And we know that we've all lied before, and we've all done worse things than lying. Therefore we all deserve hell as a punishment for our sins. 3. The gospel (or good news) - But there's good news - the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus Christ is the Son of God (God manifest in the flesh). The Bible says that Christ died for our sins, and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day in order to pay for all of our sins and to save us from hell. This means He bore our punishment and paid our penalty in full (He suffered the death we all deserved because of our sins). So all of the sins we've ever committed were laid on Jesus and it's just as if He had done them Himself. He is the propitiation (or payment) for our sins. For the wages (or penalty) of sin is death. 4. The gift - Moreover the Bible says that salvation is a gift - For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast. So because salvation is a gift, and gifts are always free, we don't have to give anything in return (it's not of works, not of ourselves). We're not saved because we've turned from all of our sins, or because we've joined a church, or because we've been baptized, or because we keep the commandments and do good things, but simply because we've believed (or put our faith and trust) in Jesus alone and in His finished work on the cross (His death, burial and resurrection as the complete payment for our sins). 5. Once saved, always saved (chastisements and rewards) - The only thing the Bible says we must do to be saved is : That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (if you ask Him to save you), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Once we believe (or trust) in Christ alone as Savior, we are saved forever and we become a child of God. Now if we do good things after we're saved, God will bless us, and if we commit sins, God will discipline (or correct) us on this earth, but there's nothing we can do to go to hell because we're saved (all of our sins are paid for and covered by the blood of Jesus - we are forgiven- because He died for all of our sins- past, present and future). This is called the eternal security of the believer. If you believe what I've shown you so far, you can pray to receive Christ as Savior (prayer alone doesn't save you, you must also believe this in your heart). Simply say - "Lord Jesus, | know I'm a sinner, and | deserve to go to hell. But | believe that you died on the cross and rose again to pay for all of my sins. Save me right now and give me eternal life. I'm trusting in you alone as my Savior - and not in my own works. Thanks for saving me, Amen!". So that's it, you're saved! - Please share this message - God bless you! - No copyright.

The ABC gospel

The core gospel (ABC'S).

(Sin)- For all have sinned and come short of the glory (or perfection) of God. As it is written: there is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:23, 10). This means that every person has sinned, and there’s a consequence for our sins – ‘’For the wages of sin is death’’ (Romans 6:23). This is not only a physical death, but also a second death in hell – ‘’And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death’’ (Revelation 21:8). (Jesus)- But the good news is that Christ died for our sins, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day in order to pay for all of our sins and to save us from hell (He is the propitiation (or the payment) for our sins). ‘’But God commendeth (proves) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree’’. Romans 5:8, 1Peter 2:24. (Salvation)- The one thing the Bible says we must do to be saved is: ‘’Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved’’ (Acts 16:31). Believing on Jesus means that we receive His death, His burial and His resurrection as the complete payment for our sins, which guarantees us eternal life. Salvation is a free gift - we cannot earn it by our own works or efforts, such as: by turning away from our sins, or by keeping the commandments, or by being baptized, or by being a good person, etc. It’s a 100% by faith (by believing or trusting) in Jesus and in His finished work alone. ‘’That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (if you ask Him to save you), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’’. Romans 10:9, 13 - A sample prayer to receive Christ as Savior: ‘’Dear Jesus, I know I’m a sinner, and I deserve hell. But I believe that you died and rose again to pay for all of my sins. Please save me right now and give me eternal life. I’m trusting in you alone as my Savior – and not in my own works. Thanks for saving me, in Jesus’ name, Amen! ’’He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life’’ (John 3:36). Thepreaching.com

The hybrid gospel

 Salvation according to the KJV 1611 Holy Bible - 1. All have sinned … ‘’For all have sinned and come short of the glory (or perfection) of God’’. (Romans 3:23) We’ve all lied, stolen or coveted something, and the Bible says there’s a consequence for our sins – ‘’For the wages (or penalty) of sin is death…’’ (Romans 6:23a). This is not only a physical death, but also a second death in hell – ‘’And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death’’. (Revelation 21:8)

2. Jesus is our Savior … But because God loves us, He doesn’t want us to go to hell to pay for our own sins. That’s why He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be the propitiation (or payment) for our sins. But God commendeth (proves) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree (Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 2:24). (Christ died for our sins, and He was buried, and He rose again the third day in order to pay the full price (or penalty) for our sins – 1Corinthians 15:3-4),

3. Salvation is a free gift … - Moreover, the Bible says that salvation is a gift – ‘’For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast’’. (Ephesians 2:8-9) – Since salvation is a gift, and gifts are always free, we don’t have to give anything in return (it is not of works, not of our own doing). It’s an undeserved gift (Jesus paid the full price for our salvation with His death, His shed blood, and His resurrection). It is not by turning from all of our sins, nor by joining a church, nor by being baptized, nor by keeping the commandments, nor by being a good person – but only by faith (by belief) in Jesus’ finished work alone.

4. Salvation is eternal (you are saved forever the moment you receive Christ) … - The one thing the Bible says we must do to be saved is: ‘’Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31).’’ Salvation is a one-time decision. The moment you believe on Christ and accept His death, burial, and resurrection as the complete payment for your sins, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins (past, present and future) and eternal life. No amount of sin or lack of good works can make you lose your salvation once you have believed (because salvation is not by works). That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:15-16). Now, if you do good things after you are saved, God will reward you, and if you commit sins, God will chastise (or discipline) you, but there’s nothing you can do to lose salvation because you’ve become a child of God by faith, and all of your sins are paid for and covered by the blood of Jesus. ‘’That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (if you ask Him to save you), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved’’ (Romans 10:9). Simply ask Jesus to save you and He will do it – say – Lord Jesus, I know I’m a sinner, and I deserve to go to hell. But I believe that you died on the cross and rose again to pay for all of my sins. Please save me right now and give me eternal life. I’m trusting in you alone as my Savior – apart from my works. Thanks for saving me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.’’. If you are sincere, you have received the gift of eternal life. ‘’He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life’’ (John 3:36). You can write down today’s date as your salvation day. Congrats. ‘’For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved’’ (Romans 10:13). Please share – God bless you!
