**HOW TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST WITH OTHERS.**
*MAKE IT CLEAR AND CONCISE!*
PART ONE
*WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST❓*
The good news of Jesus Christ is the message that God has made a way for us to be forgiven of our sins and to have a personal relationship with Him. The good news of Jesus Christ is based on the historical events of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
*The good news of Jesus Christ can be explained in four main points:*
- **God loves us and has a wonderful plan for us.** God created us in His image and gave us everything we need to enjoy life. He also gave us free will, which means we can choose to obey or disobey Him. God wants us to love Him and follow His commandments, which are for our own good and happiness (John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; Deuteronomy 10:12-13).
- **We have rebelled against God and deserve His wrath.** Rebellion is anything that goes against God's will and His Holy Character. We have all rebelled and fallen short of God's glory. Rebellion separates us from God and makes us guilty before Him. The consequence of rebellion is death, which means eternal separation from God in hell (Romans 3:23; 6:23; Isaiah 59:2; Revelation 20:15).
- **Jesus Christ died for our rebellion and rose again.** God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to take our place and pay the penalty for our rebellion. Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead on the third day. He conquered rebellion and death and made a way for us to be reconciled to God. He offers us forgiveness and eternal life as a free gift (Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-9).
- **We must repent and believe in Jesus Christ to receive His gift.** Repentance means turning away from our rebellion and turning to God. Belief means trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We must admit our rebellion to God, ask for His forgiveness, and surrender our lives to Him. We must accept His gift of salvation by faith and follow Him as His disciples. When we do this, we become children of God and members of His family (Acts 3:19; John 1:12; Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 28:18-20).
This is the good news of Jesus Christ, the most important message in the world. May the Lord empower us to effectively share this gospel In Jesus Mighty Name.🙏
