Hi ALL,

I would like you all to add to this thread but please keep debate out. 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

Well, so far the best one sentence summary of the Gospel I have heard was spoken by Keith Green a long time ago.

"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!

The gospel is NOT about accepting Jesus. 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.

I voted: other

Jesus died to save us sinners--but he rose again, in order to complete that, to rid us of death once and for all...because God loves us. That should have been a choice. Your choices are incomplete without that.

Gospel means "truth." 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.
