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!

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...
