the Gospel

The Gospel is a message to WHOSOEVER :)

To ALL who have sinned 


Romans 3:10-23

New International Version (NIV)
10 As it is written:   “There is no one righteous, not even one;
 11 there is no one who understands;
   there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
   they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
   not even one.”[a]
13 “Their throats are open graves;
   their tongues practice deceit.”[b]
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[c]
 14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[d]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
 16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[e]
 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[f]
 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Righteousness Through Faith
 21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[g] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,



It's a message of the LOVE of God. 


Romans 5:8

New International Version (NIV)
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.


It's a reminder that we can be saved by faith 



Romans 10:9-10

New International Version (NIV)
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:13

New International Version (NIV)
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
