You Can LIVE FOREVER! You Can Have EVERLASTING LIFE!

The word ‘Gospel’ means ‘Good News’.

“..the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;..” (Romans 1:16).

“..repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

INTRODUCTION:
--God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into this world to suffer, shed His blood and
die for our sins. Jesus willingly became the sacrifice to God for our sins.
--“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
--Jesus came to earth in the flesh just like we have, except without sin. He was born of a virgin
by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was still fully God (the Son) and He became fully man. Jesus
is the unique and perfect God-man.
--“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
made under the law,” (Galatians 4:4).
--Jesus lived a life that was sinless. “..and in him is no sin” (I John 3:5).

--The Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ is, “..that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
and that he was seen…”(I Corinthians 15:3-5).
--Because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sinners such as you and I, can be saved and be given
everlasting life.

I. JESUS DIED FOR YOU.
-“…he by the grace of God should taste death for every man” (Hebrews 2:9).
--“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our’s only, but also for the sins of
the whole world” (I John 2:2).
--Jesus shed His precious blood for you. You can be redeemed “.. with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” (I Peter 1:19).
--“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us” (Romans 5:8).

II. JESUS WAS BURIED
--“Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified
there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre,wherein was never man yet laid. There
laid they Jesus..” (John 19:40-42).

III. JESUS ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY
--“Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,
and be crucified, and the third day rise again” (Luke 24:7).
--“.. to day is the third day since these things were done. … And as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were
terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them,
Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet,
that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see
me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet”(Luke 24:21,
36-40).
--“..whom they slew and hanged on a tree: him God raised up the third day, and shewed him
openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who
did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead” (Acts 10:39-41).
--Jesus stated, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).
--Jesus said, “..I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?” (John 11:25, 26).

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED ?
--Eternal life is a gift from the Lord that must be accepted by a
person in order for that person to be saved and have everlasting life. It must be accepted
in the manner that the Lord instructs us in His Word.

I. Realize and understand that you are guilty of sin against God. God states that we all are sinners.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23). "As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Romans 3:10).

II. Repent toward God. (Turn; have a change of mind and heart concerning sin and God).
Turn from sin and unbelief and turn to righteousness and God. Jesus said, “I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). "Testifying both to the Jews, and
also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 20:21).

III. Trust in, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. By faith believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
“..Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,..” (Acts 16:31).
In your heart you must have, “..repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”
(Acts 20:21).
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).

IV. Pray and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins and to save you.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

--Jesus is the only way to God and heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

--Receive Jesus today as your personal Saviour and God, by His grace, will give you His
gift of everlasting, eternal life.

"What If I Neglect God's Salvation and Die Lost?"
--"And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments..."(Luke 16:23) (This was immediately after this
lost man died.)
--"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire " (Revelation
20:15).

God gives the invitation to ALL to come to Him by repenting and trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life " (John 3:16).
