The gospel in one verse - The Natural Gospel (Romans 6:23)

For the wages of sin (1) is death (2): but the gift of God (4) is eternal life (5) through Jesus Christ our Lord (3).

A simple way to present the gospel is to split Romans 6:23 into the different parts of the gospel. Romans 6:23, like John 3:16, is the heart of the gospel message.

1- Everybody is a sinner (Romans 3:23).

2- We all deserve the second death in hell (Revelation 21:8 – ‘’all liars’’ are going to hell).

3- Through Jesus, we can get the opposite of that death. Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection (1Corinthians 15:3-4) pays for all of our sins and saves us from hell.

4- Salvation is the gift of God - we can only receive it through faith in what Jesus did for us. It’s not by the works that we do for Him (Ephesians 2:8-9).

5- Salvation is eternal – we are saved forever the moment we put all of our faith and trust in Christ alone. Eternal life is a gift that will last forever. It’s an unconditional gift based on God’s promise, not on man’s faithfulness to keep the law (Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9, 13, John 3:36, Titus 1:2).

Soulwinning in 4 steps - How to preach the gospel by Revelation 1611 (with script). - Step 1 — Sin, Step 2 — Hell, Step 3 — The gospel (the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as full payment for our sins), Step 4 — Salvation by faith alone without works — Once saved, always saved (chastisement and rewards)/ asking Jesus for salvation. - Explanations - Step 1 — show the person that we’re all sinners (Romans 3 :23, *Romans 3 :10) — give a list of common sins, such as lying, stealing or coveting (we’re all guilty of those). *To sin is to break or transgress God’s commandments (His law set forth in the Holy Bible), to do wrong things. Step 2 — Show that the price (or penalty, or consequence) for sin is hell (the lake of fire, which is the second death) (Romans 6 :23a, Revelation 21:8). Just as a worker earns wages for his work, so a sinner receives death as t...

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 mus...
