What Is the Gospel?

We open our Bible and read that on one night long ago, heaven opened up to a few ordinary men on a hill and the world was never the same after that. Here is what they heard from the mouths of angels:

“‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord’” (Luke 2:10-11 ESV).

There was a day when in the little Middle Eastern town of Bethlehem, the Lord, the very God who created the world, was born. And he was born for a reason. He knew we could not find our way to him, so he came to us.

What is the gospel? It’s the great climax of the Bible: the good news of great joy about a person named Jesus.

Verse

1 Corinthians 15:3-5 NIV

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 

Quote

The gospel is
the message about Jesus:
who he is,
what he did,
and how we
receive his benefits.

What Is Repentance?

by Bro Andrew

Short Content

What Does It Mean to Repent?

Heidelberg Catechism
Lord’s Day 33

What is the true repentance or conversion of man?

It is the dying of the old nature and the coming to life of the new.

What is the dying of the old nature?

It is to grieve with heartfelt sorrow that we have offended God by our sin, and more and more to hate it and flee from it.

What is the coming to life of the new nature?

It is a heartfelt joy in God through Christ, and a love and delight to live according to the will of God in all good works.

But what are good works?
Only those which are done out of true faith, in accordance with the law of God, and to his glory, and not those based on our own opinion or on precepts of men.

Introduction to the Book of Romans

Romans 1:1-7 ESV

Paul,  a servant of Christ Jesus,  called to be an apostle,  set apart for the gospel of God,  which he promised beforehand  through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,  concerning his Son,  who was descended from David  according to the flesh  and  was declared to be the Son of God  in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,  through whom we have received grace and apostleship  to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name  among all the nations,  including you who are  called to belong to Jesus Christ, to all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
