Good News

The “Gospel” is the “good news” that Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for our sin so that we might become the children of God through faith alone in Christ alone. The basic ingredients of the gospel message, are namely, the death, burial, resurrection, and appearances of the resurrected Christ. 

1 Corinthians 15:1–4,  
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sinsaccording to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures

 Paul provides the most succinct summary of the gospel: the man Jesus is also God, or Christ, and died on a cross in our place, paying the penalty for our sins; three days later He rose to conquer sin and death and give the gift of salvation to all who believe in Him alone for eternal life.

The good news starts out as awful news, He died and was buried, but the wonderful Good News is that He rose and lives in Heaven with His Father, and went to prepare a place for us.  If we believe that Jesus rose from that grave, we have heard the Good News and we will also rise from the grave, and be reunited with our many loved ones who have gone before.





Spread the Good News of Hope and Victory from death.

Good News,

         Good News
Isaiah 52:7 .....How beautiful on the mountain are the feet that bring Good News...Who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Dear Lord,
Thank you for being the Good News in my every day...the end of my bad day is always...Good News, Good News..I believe that I will be with you one day.  Thank you. Good News! In your precious name, I believe in your Good News.  Amen.
