The Gospel is IT
By Preston Greene
The Gospel
To the unknowing: Proclaim IT
To the confused: Explain IT
To the self righteous: Defend IT
Why??? because IT is the power of God unto salvation …..from an eternity in a literal lake of fire…… to EVERYONE that believeth. (Rom 1:16)
What is IT (the gospel)?????
—how that Christ died FOR MY sins and rose again (1 Cor 15:1-4)
IT declares ALL your mistakes (sins) forgiven (Acts 13:39, Col 2:13-14).
IT is simple to understand (2 Cor 11:3-4 kjv)
IT is easy to obtain (Matt 11:28-30)
IT is a free gift given to those who will accept IT (Rom 5:15-20)
IT costs you NOTHING (Rom 6:23, Eph 2:8-9).
IT stops all self righteous boasting about how “good” one thinks they are (Eph 2:8-9, Rom 3:24-28)
IT gets you sealed the moment you trust in IT (Eph 1:13)…sealed forever (Eph 4:30)
What IT is not……
IT is NOT by our works (Rom 4:2-7)
IT is NOT water baptism (1 Cor 1:17)
IT is NOT the law (how good you are) (Gal 2:16, Acts 15:24)
IT is NOT by anything you do (Titus 3:5).
IT — EXPLAINED IN ITS SIMPLICITY—-with me being a bit blunt.
1. Are you perfect????? No??? then you are in deep doo-doo…..DEEP DOO-DOO. How deep?????
2. Because you are not perfect—unfortunately you are destined to burn in a literal lake of fire for eternity (deep doo-doo)…I dont make the rules…..God does.
3. There is nothing you can do to make yourself perfect……NOTHING……no matter how hard you try….you suck!!!! A secret for you….I suck too!!! even on my best day.
– NOTE – it is this that really irritates people –telling people they are bad….that they suck. Well, GET OVER YOURSELF. it is easy to see when you compare yourself to Gods laws.
4. Just ONE mistake (sin) condemns you….just one. Again, how is that PERFECT thing working out for you??? IT is the ONLY solution to this dire situation….(IT IS DIRE)
5. Jesus (Gods only Son, GOD in the flesh) came to die FOR YOUR sins and rose again. He died as payment FOR YOUR mistakes (sins)
6. When you trust IT—–you get sealed by the Spirit of God. (Eph 1:13)
7. IT keeps you sealed by the Spirit of God (Eph 4:30)
IT is that simple. Escaping the horrible penalty for your sin is extremely easy (contrary to what religion tells you). Simply TRUST that when Jesus died FOR YOUR sins….He paid for your mistakes IN FULL. There is NO MISTAKE that can ever condemn you to the lake of fire.
Eternal life is a FREE GIFT
Because of WHO Jesus is…..and what He did for you…..He offers you heaven as a FREE GIFT—–but you must accept the gift….most turn it down.
Accepting a FREE GIFT—-so simple—-a child can do it!!!
IT is foolishness to those who wont believe (1 Cor 1:18).
THE GOSPEL is IT
To the unknowing: Proclaim IT
To the confused: Explain IT
To the self righteous: Defend IT
Because IT is the power of God, unto salvation, to everyone that TRUSTS in IT.
