Gospel of Jesus

 The **Gospel of Jesus Christ** (Greek: *euangelion*—"good news") is the foundational message of Christianity, centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as God’s plan to redeem humanity. Here’s a concise yet comprehensive overview:


---


### πŸ”₯ **The Core Message**  

> **"Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures"** (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).


#### **1. The Problem: Sin and Separation**  

   - All humanity is sinful (Romans 3:23) and separated from a holy God (Isaiah 59:2).  

   - Sin’s penalty is eternal death (Romans 6:23).  


#### **2. The Solution: Jesus Christ**  

   - **Incarnation**: God became man (John 1:14). Jesus lived sinlessly (Hebrews 4:15).  

   - **Atonement**: His sacrificial death paid sin’s penalty (Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 3:18).  

   - **Resurrection**: He conquered death, proving His divinity and victory (1 Corinthians 15:20–22).  


#### **3. The Invitation: Faith and Repentance**  

   - **Repent**: Turn from sin (Acts 3:19).  

   - **Believe**: Trust in Christ alone for salvation (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9).  

   - **Receive**: Confess Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9).  


#### **4. The Promise: Eternal Life**  

   - Forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).  

   - Reconciliation with God (2 Corinthians 5:18–19).  

   - New life now and eternity with Him (John 17:3; Revelation 21:3–4).
