What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? There is no question that is more important because the Gospel is the good news of how a person can be declared righteous in God’s courtroom and saved from their sins. Jesus Christ went to the Cross and died, but do you know what the Cross means? The Cross means you are bad enough to go to hell and you needed something supplied outside of your efforts to make a way to heaven, and that is offensive to self-righteous man and to his pride. Because it says: Man, you are NOT good. You are so bad and sinful that God had to slaughter His own Son as a sacrifice in order to make a way for you to be saved from your sin that is so filthy. Please listen to the clip below as this is expounded on.
Below is an excerpt from the following sermon that we would also encourage you to hear:
What Jesus did on that cross is fully capable of saving the most foul, the most wicked, the most backwards. Jesus Christ didn’t come into the world and do what He did on that cross and unleash the power that He unleashed on the cross except for one reason, to save really, really, really bad people, judgment deserving, hell deserving, fury deserving, wretched depraved miserable people. God forbid the thought even cross your mind that you are too bad to be saved by what I just described to you. God forbid it. It’s no act of humility. It is a thought of abomination. Your thought would desecrate the very cross of Christ if it had the power to do it.
