THE GOOD NEWS (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. The Good News

a) The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most important information you will ever hear. Your life on earth and your eternity will be determined by your reaction to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything good comes from God and every thing bad comes from being separated from God. Sin separates people from God. Jesus is the only way to be restored to righteousness with God. God is the source of light, life, love, beauty, joy, peace, and everything good. God is what makes heaven, heaven. Hell is separated from everything good and it is where everything bad comes from including all suffering.
Jesus is the way we are restored to righteousness with God the Father. 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6 NKJV) 

God in His righteousness and mercy gave Jesus as your way to become righteous, without guilt before the Father in love, (Ephesians 1:4). 

This is so you can be with God, as a dear child loved by your Father. But as many as received Him [Jesus Christ], to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13 NKJV)

b) The God of the Holy Bible is very different from every other god or religion. Every religion says that you have to work your way to God, except Christianity. Only the God of the Bible came down to man and became a man to rescue us from sin. When we believe God from our heart it is counted as righteousness. In this way when you hear the Gospel and believe that Jesus died on the cross for you, something happens inside and you become born of God. We are changed from the inside and God’s Holy Spirit is joined to our spirit. 

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him, (1 Corinthians 6:17 NKJV). 

c) The term “born again” means to be born from above. 

Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, (1 Peter 1:23 NKJV).


The End ...
