Grace for your spirit October 5, 2015

Grace for your spirit
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.  Mark 16:15

The world gospel is used many times in the New Testament.  It literally means "good news", and that is what the New Testament brings us. We have explained the gospel as the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, but it is really much more than that.  The good news includes, Christ's miraculous birth, His sinless life, His crucifixion for our sins, His burial, and His resurrection for our justification.  Then He ascended to the right hand of God to intercede for us, with a promise that He would return to reward our faithfulness with eternal life.  Those eight things bring about our opportunity to return to Heaven with Jesus for eternal life.  That is really good news.  Let's celebrate.
