This month we (at Meadowview) have focused on the 3rd mark of a healthy church - The Gospel. Just last Sunday Jordan Chambers encouraged us to know the gospel so we can share this good news with others. So my question is, do you know the gospel? Are you equipped to share the good news with others?
We can summarize it in four words: God, Man, Christ, Response
God. God is the creator of all things. He is perfectly holy, worthy of all worship, and will punish sin.
Man. All people, though created good, have become sinful by nature. From birth, all people are alienated from God, hostile to God, and subject to the wrath of God.
Christ. Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to bear God's wrath in the place of all who would believe in him, and rose from the grave in order to give his people eternal life.
Response. God calls everyone everywhere to turn from their sins and trust in Christ in order to be saved.
