GOSPEL MESSAGE 3: GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Gospel Message
a) The word “Gospel” means ‘good news’. According to Vine’s, “…it denotes the “good tidings” of the kingdom of God and of salvation through Christ, to be received by faith, on the basis of His expiatory death, His burial, resurrection, and ascension…” When most of us think of ‘good news’ we do not think about death, or burials. Why are these things considered to be ‘good tidings’ according to the Bible?
2. God's Plan Of Salvation
a) God chose a nation through which He could demonstrate His love, justice, mercy, and other attributes. God gave this nation His laws by which they were to live. These requirements revealed how a people would look if they could perfectly follow God.
b) People soon found out that the rules were impossible to follow perfectly. Even those people who sincerely attempted to live as God wanted them to live could not do it in their own power. No matter how good we think we are, when we compare our goodness with God’s standard for good, we miss the mark miserably.
c) But God had a plan to remedy this problem.
