What is the good news? The gospel of Christ is the good news of Jesus coming to give us forgiveness of the sins of all who will believe (Colossians 1:14; Romans 10:9). Since the first sin of Adam and Eve, the world has been under the condemnation of God (Romans 5:12). Since everyone breaks God’s perfect law by sinning, everyone is guilty (Romans 3:23). The punishment for the crime of sin is physical death and separation from God (Romans 6:23), which includes an eternity spent in a place of punishment (Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:46). This eternal separation from God is called the “second death” (Revelation 20:14–15).
Since we are all guilty of sin and condemned by God, the real bad news is resolved by the gospel, called the good news of Jesus Christ. Because of His love for the world, God has made way for man to be forgiven of their sins (John 3:16). God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the world’s sins on Himself through sacrificial death on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). In placing our sins on Christ, God ensured that all who will believe in the name of Jesus will be forgiven (Acts 10:43). Jesus’ resurrection guarantees the justification of all who believe since God always keeps His Word. (Romans 4:25).
Proverbs 25:25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.

Assuring Believers Of Eternal Life!
What Really Is Important?
For what I received, I passed on to you as of first importance: that 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, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he seemed to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time” (1 Corinthians 15:1–6). In this passage, Paul emphasizes the primacy of the gospel—it is of “first importance.” Gotquestions.org
The gospel message contains two historical facts supported by Scripture: Christ’s death and His resurrection. Other proofs support both facts: Christ’s death is established by His burial, and the eyewitnesses attest to His resurrection. The calendar has been split into two parts, reflecting what Jesus did for us, using B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (After Death). The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that God provided the way for man to be freed from the penalty of sin (John 14:6; Romans 6:23). Each of us dies physically, but those who believe in Jesus Christ are promised a physical resurrection unto eternal life (John 11:23–26). Those who reject Christ will not only die physically but will undergo a “second death,” which the Bible describes as an eternal lake of fire, otherwise known as hell (Revelation 20:13–14). Jesus is the only One in whom salvation can be found (Acts 4:12). The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news anyone will ever hear, and what a person does with this news will determine where they spend eternity. God is calling you to choose life. Call on the name of the Lord and be saved (Romans 10:13). Gotquestions.org

In 2007, my pastor Ron Sauer and his wife Sue saw how depressed I was due to my wife giving up on our marriage. Ron and Sue encouraged me to encourage others. They were wise to know that if I reached out to help others, my problems would be put into perspective. I took their advice and it really helped! I trust you will find the encouragement you need here on our website. You can also call Need Him Phone Ministry 800-633-3446 or the Billy Graham prayer line 877-772-4559. God bless you!
