A Church That Preaches The Gospel - Part 1
Manage episode 435732903 series 1494960
Bottom line: People need to know the bad news of sin so that they can fully appreciate the good news of salvation. Therefore, we must strive to be a church that preaches the gospel.
Do we want the good news or bad news first? Spiritually, there is both good news (salvation) and bad news (sin and its effects). No one gets excited about a solution to a problem he doesn't see. Our hearts will not be open to the good news of the gospel until we truly know that bad news of sin and its effects on us.
We are born sinners. We're sinners by nature and choice. The result of our sin is death. The bad news is there is nothing we can do to save ourselves from sin and death. However, the good news is God can save us, and He saves us by grace through faith in Jesus' finished work of the cross. Jesus became our sin satisfying sacrifice. He died in our place. When we put our faith in Him, we are made righteous by grace.
