The Gospel Message

 

The Gospel Message!

 

Luke 9:23-26 “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words, of him The Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own Glory, and in His Father’s and of the holy angels.”

 

These four verses have the full Gospel message:

1. You have to want GOD in your life!

JESUS told us to seek the Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness in Matthew 6:33 (Genesis 5:24; Isaiah 55:6; Matthew 5:6; John 12:42-50).

 

2. You have to obey GOD’s commands.

JESUS told us to keep His commandments (John 13:34-35).

JESUS tells us if we are to be His disciples we must keep His Commands (John 8:31-32; John 15:10).

 

3. You have to live in and for JESUS.

JESUS tells us we have to serve The Father’s Will, just as He did (Matthew 6:9-10; John 15:7; John 17:20-26).

 

4. You have to proclaim JESUS as your LORD and Savior to everyone you can.

JESUS tells us that we are not to be ashamed to proclaim Him, but we must proclaim Him (Matthew 16:27; Mark 16:14-18; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 10:8-13).

 

What have we learned?

We have to want God in our life.

We have to obey GOD’s commands.

We have to live (abide) is JESUS.

We have to proclaim the Gospel to everyone.
