The Gospel Of Christ Jesus = The Good News.
It truly is Good News to us, if we accept it, but Our Lord and Our Friend paid the ultimate price for us to accept it. It is a Gift to be accepted.
God is both Merciful and Just;-God is true to His word;- God’s Word never changes.
Salvation is the Good News to be accepted, which is the start of a wonderful journey with Our Lord and Our friend.
Salvation is a free Gift -so no one can boast, to help understand lets reflect on two words.
1. Expiation, meaning atonement {paying the price}, this is what Jesus did on the cross for us. by dying in our place, His blood was shed so our sins can be washed away, when we repent {our wrong doings against God} and accept His free Gift Salvation {deliverance from our sin}.
2. Propitiation, meaning the price Jesus paid,By the shedding of His Blood through dying in our place, Satisfied God’s anger against sin {wrong doings] and paid the price for His Justice. To all who will accept.
The is The Good News which displays God’s Mercy, and satisfy His Justice.
The free Gift is Eternal Life, comes through Repentance of our wrong doings that had separated us from a Merciful and Just God, and acknowledging and accepting the One who paid the price for us Christ Jesus {Our Lord and Our Friend}.
Romans 10 verse 9: “If we confess with our mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” {Have Salvation}
The Good News is great and wonderful news, and a new way of living is waiting for all who accept.
God Bless.
