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!!
John 3:16 NIV
[16] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
[8] For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— [9] not by works, so that no one can boast.
John 3:1-8 NIV
[1] Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. [2] He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” [3] Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” [4] “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” [5] Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. [6] Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. [7] You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ [8] The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
John 1:11-13 NIV
[11] He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. [12] Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— [13] children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
1 John 5:1 NIV
[1] Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
Romans 10:9-13 NIV
[9] If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. [11] As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” [12] For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, [13] for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 2:38-39 NIV
[38] Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [39] The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.
