Jesus has good news for you. This news will change your life. Like the dawn of a new day, Jesus brings good news that brings new beginnings. The Bible has a term for this good news, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Forgiveness and eternal life can be yours if you choose to follow Jesus. That’s good news for you.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures
Good News for You
1 Corinthians 15:1-11 is one of the clearest presentations of the Gospel in all of Scripture. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and raised on the third day. He died to become the perfect sacrifice to appease God’s wrath, and our sins could be forgiven. He was buried, but death couldn’t keep him down. On the third day, He was resurrected from the grave. This was witnessed by the disciples and more than five hundred people before he ascended to heaven.
It Can Change Your Life
There is a reason the Gospel is good news for Paul. Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus. Paul was on his way to persecute Christians, but Jesus had other plans. Jesus got his attention, and Paul turned from his wicked ways. By that grace, Paul was called to be an Apostle. God’s grace is amazing! It changes lives and sets us on a whole new path.
Do you believe the Gospel?
The Gospel transformed Paul. Because of that, he never took it for granted and worked hard to preach the Gospel. The Gospel should transform us and produce a change in our life. We should be filled with a desire to be used by God. We should always be aware of what we were before Christ and humbled that he died for us. There should be continual gratitude in our hearts for saving us. Live out the Gospel transformation daily. Accept the good news for you.
