I'm just interested in information here. If you chose "other" in the pole please state what you think the Gospel is in ONE SENTENCE. Thank you, LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Gospel is simply this: Jesus will forgive all of your sins if you will come to Him humbly, lay down at His feet and say, 'You're the Lord, and I will follow You the rest of my life here on Earth so that I may have the rest of eternity with You and the glory of Your Father.'"

AMEN! ~~~~~~~~~~ But, if one get one vote here and I usually will not vote on such things; ( I would like to know what you are doing this vote thing for, please?...) I say accept HIM as "your Saviour" because many know HE is the Saviour yet they have not made HIM thiers! In making HIM yours, He will teach you all things as you continue to seek HIm and live to HIm! elkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest InHimIPray Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I chose other because I feel the Gospel is: "Christ is all, and in all." Col. 3:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about Gods acceptance of US through the Work of Christ on the Cross for the forgiveness of sins. "Just as in Christ, God has forgiven YOU." Jesus gave himself FOR us, AS a fragrant offering TO God. The good news is that God has accepted US through that amazing offering made FOR us. What Jesus did satisfied the wrath of God that was on US as unrepentant, condemned sinners. The gospel is a message of forgiveness bringing reconciliation. Jesus did not say "Accept me." He said Repent...So too did the apostles..Acts 2:38. Jesus tells us that he waits outside the door knocking, but the key that opens that door is repentance. Regards, Ben.

That should have been a choice. Your choices are incomplete without that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the gospel that we are to tell others is this: Christ, being the holy Son of God, became the perfect sacrifice for all our sins and rose again in victory. That still seems over-simplified to me, but hey....you wanted one sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
