Thank you for visiting this page where
I highlight blog posts that describe
the good news Jesus offers us:
The gospel
Here you will find illustrations and explanations about what Jesus has done for us:
His sacrifice in…
- Leaving His heavenly home for us
- Living His life to die for us on the cross
- Conquering death and the grave so we can have everlasting life
- Preparing our heavenly home
This is the gospel in a nutshell:
- None of us are righteous and we fall short of God’s standard (Romans 3:23).
- Our sin, including our sinfulness, is punishable by death (Romans 6:23).
- God’s Son Jesus satisfied the penalty of our sins by giving His life (Romans 5:8).
- Jesus rose from His grave and defeated death (John 11:25).
- Jesus is Lord of all and Lord of our lives (Romans 14:8-9).
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.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-17
God bless you as you read.
