Do You Share a Biblical Gospel with Others?

Is it possible to share a "non-biblical" gospel with others? Perhaps a better question would be, "What is the gospel that Jesus and the apostles shared with others?" and then to ask, "Am I sharing this gospel with others?"

What is required to share the gospel in a biblical way?

• God: God is Maker and therefore owner of all of us. That makes us accountable to Him. God is Holy and requires that we be like Him, that we love Him, and that we keep His laws.

See here: Acts 17:26,27; Leviticus 19:2; Exodus 20:1-17

• Sin: We have all failed to keep God's laws in both actions and attitudes. We are sinners, not just because we have sinned, but because by nature we go our own way and not God's.

See here: Romans 3:9-20; Romans 3:23

• Death: The just judgment we all deserve from God because of our sin is death. This death is separation from God and is therefore physical and spiritual and ETERNAL.

See here: Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15

• Jesus: God is also merciful and loving and has therefore made a way for condemned sinners to have their judgment removed. He has done this through the life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

See here: John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 6:23

• Respond: God requires sinners to repent and believe, that is, to TURN from their selfish, sinful ways of trying to save and satisfy themselves so that they might TRUST in the Lord Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection ALONE to save them from their sin and judgment.

See here: Mark 1:15; Acts 17:30; Romans 10:9-10

Is this the "gospel" that you are sharing with others?

May the Lord who has given us Good News (gospel) to share be gracious to us to know that Good News and to be courageous and loving to share it with family, friends, and those who are sovereignly brought into our lives from time to time.
