The Gospel, it’s the good news that we are to share to the world, to make disciples of every nation.
The message says this, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever shall believe in him shall have eternal life.
Gave him to what tho? And why should you or I care?
In summary the point is that you and I are doomed to perish because of this thing called sin that is our flesh. It enslaves us every day and the reason for evil everywhere in the world. The reason people kill, steal and destroy. You say o r think you are not a slave but I dare you to stop. Stop hurting yourself and others and let me know how soon you end up doing it again.
And so because of sin our lives have no life and we are really in death. For this sin, we are to be judged, and the consequence is a hefty fine that neither you nor I can pay. However, God, out of love, sent Jesus to us.
He sent him to pay for the hefty fine, he sent him to atone for our sin, he sent him to be the lamb of sacrifice, he sent him so we don’t have to go, so we don’t have to pay. And so on the cross he took on sin and all that we deserved.
That is the gift and the good news.
This gift was not cheap, it cost more than an arm or a leg, it cost a righteous and pure and holy servant. The price was rare for there was only one, he was the only one.
Many before looked like the perfect lamb, and people thought they had the right price, but those men and so many more each fell short of the glory of God.
The only one that was perfect was the Son of Man, Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. Who is God himself in human form, to deliver the world out of slavery and bandage to sin.
So whosoever believes in him is born again, not of flesh but of the spirit. Just like how the wind blows but no one sees it unless through the leaves and things. So too is the spirit and the one who is born again of the spirit.
For you cannot see the spirit but you do see it when one is moved and compelled to do the works of God. Please do not be blind to this for it is life, your days are numbered and that knowledge is wisdom. Repent for he is coming
