THE GOOD NEWS
The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is simply the good news. It is about the Kingdom of God, the death of christ on the cross, how he was buried and on the third day, He resurrected reconciling us back to God.
According to the letter of St Paul to the Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scripture.

Some basic facts about the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1. The fact of the sin: The nature of man is sin, there are so much sin in the world that God had to allow his only begotten Son to come and save the world from sins. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
   Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

2. The reward of a sin: according to the scripture, Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
   Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
   According to St. Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
   Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
   Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

3. Jesus Christ payed for your sin: Because we are sinners and condemned to eternal death, we need a savior, we need someone to attone for our sins ones and for all. That was the reason why christ came you and myself
   1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
   Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
   John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

4. You must receive and accept what Christ has done for you: You must accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, and believe in what He has done for you through his death on the cross and the resurrection for you to be saved.
   John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
   Once you accept him, you automatically become a son of God. Old things are passed away and all things are become new. According to
   2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

If you have read this and you know in your heart that you are not in Christ, this is another opportunity for you to accept christ and believe in what He has done for you. The lord will bless you as you take this bold decision today.
