The Good
News!
In a time of depressing headlines
and uncertainty all around us, good news is very welcome. When
Christians refer to the “Gospel” they
are referring to the “good news” that comes from
knowing and experiencing life with Jesus. Specifically, the
good news refers to the truth of Jesus dying to pay the penalty
of the world’s sin and conquering death by rising from
the dead. All of this was done to bring glory to God! However,
we also get to share in His glory by having: renewed meaning
in life, freedom from our sin-guilt, and life with God, in
heaven, for all eternity.
5 steps to experiencing the “Good News” of
Jesus
1. Realize that you are not God and that you are powerless
to achieve favor or earn his forgiveness (Romans 3:23)
2. Believe that Jesus Christ is God, that He died on the cross
for your sins and that He is risen from the dead (John 10:30,
14:6)
3. In a prayerful moment, turn
your life and will over to the care and control of Jesus
Christ and allow Him to work in and through you. (John 1:12)
Dear Jesus,
I believe that you are the only Savior of the world and the
risen King. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I
want you to come into my life at this moment. As best
as I know how, I turn my life over to your care and control.
Amen.
4. This moment marks the beginning
of a loving relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.
5. Don’t continue this spiritual journey alone. Let
us know of your decision to follow Jesus and experience His “good
news.” We would like to continue to walk along with
you as you have questions.
