What is “the gospel”?
I want to make clear for you, brothers
and sisters, the gospel that I preached
to you, that you received and on
which you stand, and by which you
are being saved, if you hold firmly to
the message I preached to you –
unless you believed in vain. For I
passed on to you as of first
importance what I also received –
                        1 Corinthians 15:1-3
What is “the gospel”?
… that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures, and that
he was buried, and that he was raised
on the third day according to the
scriptures, and that he appeared to
Cephas, then to the twelve.

and that he was raised on the 3 day
                                 rd

     according to the scriptures,
          and that he appeared
          to Cephas, then to the 12.
                       1 Corinthians 15:3-5

Then he appeared to more than five
hundred of the brothers and sisters at
one time, most of whom are still
alive, though some have fallen asleep.

Then he appeared to James,

then to all the apostles.
                            1 Corinthians 15:6-7

Last of all, as though to one born at
the wrong time,

he appeared to me also.

Died – his crucifixion and death

    this is not
For our sins – why he died

   “the gospel”
Raised from the dead – is now alive
To me – and I have experienced this
What is “the gospel”?

G od created us to be with him.
O ur sins separate us from God.
S in cannot be removed by good deeds.
P aying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose
again.
E veryone who trusts in him alone has eternal life.
L ife with Jesus starts now and lasts forever.
