What is the Gospel ?

First read: Genesis 3:1-15 & Isaiah 53

What's the best news you have ever heard ? (maybe a new marriage,birth of a new born or maybe a new job ?)

To me it would be the Gospel or called the good news/glad tidings, which speaks about a messenger bringing victory of a war and he usually is running.....

If I asked you when did the gospel start,what would you say ?

My understanding of the Scriptures, I believe it started in the Garden of Eden, the beginning of the Promise...(Genesis 3:15)

Look with me at verse (v.15)- enmity between your seed & Her Seed...as you can see (in the New King James Version and some other translations) the first seed is not capitalized, but the second Seed is...

This is about none other than the Lord Jesus Christ...(The Seed that is in Cap's)

Let me break this story down in a story for you (paraphrase)...
God told adam (1st adam) because you disobeyed Me, your sin must be dealt with.

The Reason is, if you want fellowship with Me again, someOne will have to die...

God told adam, you will die adam(1st.), but not for the sin's of all mankind....(adam doesn't understand,still)

You see (1st.) adam, what you did had an effect on all mankind, but don't worry adam, I knew you would do that, so I made prior arrangements.

But in order for you, meaning mankind to have felloweship with Me again, I'm sending another Adam, a 2nd Adam,and He will live a perfect life & become the Savior of the world, so 1st. adam, don't worry I'm in total control of everything.

This is in the prophecy, in Isaiah 53,(v.3) the Bible tells us that He (The Christ) will be despised & rejected by men, (the same ones He came to save!)

That is called humility, when allow, those whom you created is crucifing...

It has been asked, who killed Jesus ?....and it is true that we all had a part in this, like the Jews, the Romans, and us....But......

Look at v.4, it says Smitten by God and afflicted....for us....what kind of Love is that ????

But why did Christ do this for us ?......look with me at: John 15:13.
No greater love than this, that a Man lay down His life for His friends.

So, next time someone talks about you, don't fight back...do what Jesus did....let God handle you battles.....

Why, did He do it ?....watch this: Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, (watch this) who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Philippians 2:9 says: God has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name that is above every name.

Why did He do it ? simply because of His love for us.....

Here is the plan of salvation:

In Mark 1:15, Jesus came preaching repent & believe in the gospel...

1st. to repent means: a change of mind, you agree w/ God that you are a sinner & you are wanting or desire to turn away from your sin life & turn to God's way....

2nd. believe in the gospel: That Jesus came from heaven, born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died for all your sins (past,present and future sins) and was raised on the 3rd. day by the power of God and now sits on the right hand of God the Father.

If you truly repent and believe in the gospel w/all your heart you will start to bear fruit, of the Spirit of God (the fruit that every Christian bears is found in:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Remember this last thing......You are responsible for your own salvation,not your parents,sis,bro,spouse....no one, but you....

So, what are you waiting for, accept the free gift of God, in Christ Jesus....
