Gospel!

–

How I would introduce it, so I could explain further.

–

In the beginning, YAHWEH GOD created the heavens and the earth.

Yahweh God is holy and perfect, and nothing unholy or imperfect can stand before him. Yahweh God is a king and has a kingdom.

Before physical creation, his kingdom was in the heavens. And after creation, it was also on earth.

His kingdom is one of love and harmony with his perfect, holy will.

–

–

Then Satan rebelled, sinned against Yahweh God, and was cast out of the kingdom of heaven.

Hell would be his destiny, a place of punishment for sin and torment, and where one feels despair and the absence of Yahweh God.

When earth was created, it was also part of the kingdom but Satan was outside of it.

He roamed the earth as a temporary dwelling, looking for a way to have his own kingdom.

–

Then Adam and Eve were created, who lived inside Yahweh God’s kingdom on earth.

Satan knew that if he could have them to sin and rebel against Yahweh God, then they would lose access to Yahweh God’s kingdom.

And Satan would be king over them, thus having his own kingdom of sin.

So Satan was successful, and Adam and Eve sinned, and lost eternal life with Yahweh God.

The first humans traded their strength and glory for a fallen, sinful, weakened nature.

In Satan’s kingdom, there is death, disease, curses, hardship, and eventual punishment and torment.

–

So how could man get back into Yahweh God’s kingdom of holiness, love, perfection and eternal life?

Since man had obeyed Satan instead of Yahweh God, man had already distanced himself through his own fault.

Man was flawed and could not come before Yahweh God on his own.

–

At this point, man was destined for hell with Satan, to face the wrath of Yahweh God and be punished for every sin man was ever going to commit.

If he was sorry, any animal sacrifice was only sufficient for a particular sin, and the blood of an animal would only cover him until he sinned again. Then another sacrifice was needed.

So forgiveness could only be temporary.

This was an endless cycle of sacrifice, sin, sacrifice, sin. Etc.

It seemed like receiving forgiveness was an expensive activity, and most could not “afford” to sin because they did not have the animals to sacrifice.

–

–

Man needed someone who was One with Yahweh God, who was still in the kingdom of Yahweh God, to be a bridge between Yahweh God and man.

This person would bring forgiveness, and salvation from a dismal future in hell.

There had to be a flawless, holy, perfect sacrifice, where the blood spilled granted eternal forgiveness, not just temporary forgiveness.

–

–

The Son of Yahweh God, Yahshua / Jesus volunteered and stepped forward to assume this tremendous, painful unto death, act of self sacrifice.

The agony HE went through was for us, to spare us from the eternal agony due to sin.

–

He would suffer and die, suffering the wrath of Yahweh God for us, so we could escape this eternal punishment for our sins.

He had no sin, but took on our sins, paying the price (redemption) for our freedom from Satan.

He saved us from hell torment (salvation),and broke the bonds of Satan, freeing us from the slavery of Satan’s kingdom of darkness and sin (deliverance).

From every curse and disease also He brought healing as well.

–

His sacrifice granted us eternal forgiveness for all our sins, past, present and future.

This restored us back into the kingdom of Yahweh God. He brought us from darkness into light.

–

This is gift that Jesus offers us.

Since nothing is forced, all we have to do is accept Jesus / Yahshua for who he is (Redeemer, Deliverer, Savior, Lord), repent of our sins (meaning we need to first know what sin is and reject it), and ask for forgiveness.

If we continue in sin voluntarily, then we are not saved.

If we are ignorant of the word as to what sin is, and we continue in it, then we will be at a disadvantage until we educate ourselves.

Sin will continue to keep the door open for Satan to afflict us.

–

–

Gospel means “good news.”

The bad news for sinners is that they will suffer the wrath of Yahweh God in hell.

The good news is that we do not have to go there, if we repent, turn away from choosing sin, and accept Jesus sacrifice for our sins.

–

–

The entire bible is a love story.

It is a saga of Yahweh God trying to bring his children home, back into His kingdom.

It is a battle between good and evil for our souls.

It is also an invitation to come home.

AS a parent I can relate to this: waiting years, even decades, for children to accept salvation.

The parable of the father with the prodigal son also reflects this parent’s yearning for the lost child.

–

Do you understand that the Father Yahweh God has been waiting 6000 years for His children, including you, to return to Him?

He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice to make a way for all of us.

This is something as a parent that I could never do, to offer my child’s life for someone else.

Yet Father Yahweh did this.

And Yahshua / Jesus was in agreement with the Father also.

–

–

This love is beyond human understanding. This is the kind of love humans can only dream of.

And it is there for you.

Just receive it: the love, the forgiveness, the salvation, the deliverance.

The Father says yes.

Can you say yes back to Him?

The Father and His kingdom are waiting for you to say yes.
