What's the good news about Jesus Christ? The good news for all humanity is that Adam brought sin and death into the world, but Jesus Christ brought eternal life and peace into the world.
Before Jesus, mankind had no hope for an eternal future. Sin separated us from God. We could never get to our Creator because of sin.
When Jesus came and lived on Earth, carrying out His Father's will, God made a way through Jesus for us to be with Him forever. Sin separated us from God. Jesus and His sacrifice has given us the ability to come to God, whereas beforehand we could not.
Jesus took the problem of sin out of the way when He died on the cross. He took away the sin of the world when He laid down His life being crucified on the cross. He paid the penalty of our sins, he took our punishment for the sins of the whole world. So, now, we can come to our Creator, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. We can be united with God. We have access to God. All because of Jesus Christ.
So the greatest news ever is that because of Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son, we do not have to be eternally separated from God.
If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross and took the penalty of sin out of the way, and that God raised Him from the dead 3 days later, and that He ascended back to heaven a few days later, and now He lives, seated at the right hand of God, then you can be what is known as being "born again." You can be born-again by the Holy Spirit and added to the kingdom of God, which is God's family. God will adopt you into this eternal family and give you the gift of eternal life!!! How awesome is that? You can live with God forever in heaven.
He made you. He loves you. He wants to adopt you into His family to live with Him forever. Isn't that incredible? This is what He calls "being saved."
If you believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. If you confess with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord." If you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, then that's it. You will be saved. You'll be born again, adopted into the Kingdom of God, the family of God. When you go and get baptized, then you receive total forgiveness of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then, He comes to live in your Spirit forever. He is the Helper Jesus sent to Earth when He went back to heaven. He will help you navigate life the rest of your time on Earth.
By believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, you receive the free gift of eternal life. God gives you the free gift of eternal life and adds you to His family forever.
So that's the good news of Jesus Christ. You can go to heaven when you die. You can live with God forever in heaven. All made possible by the Lord Jesus Christ. Come to Jesus Christ your Savior today!! That is my ongoing hope for you. Be saved today!!
