The Good News of Jesus Christ
Good News reveals that there is bad news as well: the whole human race has
rebelled and sinned against the holy Creator. Because of this, all people are
under God’s wrath and judgment. That is truly bad news. Yet, because of His
great grace and love, the offended God has provided salvation and atonement
through the person and work of Jesus Christ. When someone repents of his/her
sins and trusts Jesus as His Lord and Savior, there is spiritual rebirth and
fellowship with God. This is Good News indeed! Thus, one can then truly begin to
fulfill the ultimate purpose he/she was created for: to glorify God in all
things and to take pleasure in Him. This is the heart of the Christian message.
How have you responded to the Good News of Jesus? Have you placed your faith in
Him? Have you considered His claims and His work? Have you considered your
spiritual position before God thoughtfully and honestly?
Jesus did not leave us the option of remaining neutral to His claim of being
God. We either receive this as true or reject it. Your response to Him has
bearing on your eternal destiny.
To help you understand the Good News of Jesus Christ more fully, we are
providing two resources down below that are excellent in their presentation of
the Gospel and also help answer questions that you may have. The first is a
multimedia slide presentation by Matthias Media and the other is a pamphlet that
Dr. Phil Newton has written called The Way of Faith. All you need to do is click
on the link for each one down below. It is our prayer that these two resources
are able to answer your questions about God and guide you to knowing Him.
