What Is The Gospel?
The “Gospel” has been a debated word in some circles. Some see it as merely the minimal entrance requirements for the kingdom of God while others insist it is orienting all of one’s life around bringing the kingdom of God into its fullness in this current world.
The word “Gospel” literally means the announcement of good news.
GOD created all of us with the intention for us to be in a perfect relationship with Him that would last forever. Sadly, that relationship was broken when people SINNED and decided to follow their ways instead of God’s.
The Good News of the gospel is that to fix the broken relationship, God sent His son, JESUS, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus’ death and resurrection paves the way to a restored relationship with God and a forever life in heaven, which He offers us as a free GIFT! God loves us completely and will never force us to follow Him, so He gives us the CHOICE to receive or reject this amazing gift. This is done for us by Jesus and is not about our own achievements.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
