Welcome to this Gospel Presentation! This Gospel Presentation will show you the bad news, the following good news, how to be saved, and how to live an abundant life.
Everyone has sinned against (disobeyed) God in some way [1]. For example, God’s greatest commandment is to love him with all your heart, soul, and mind [2], but no one (except Jesus, who is God the Son), has been able to do that every moment.
Bible passages: 1. Ecclesiastes 7:20. 2. Matthew 22:37-38.
Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All sinners deserve eternal death in the lake of fire [1] for their sin, but God has provided the gift of eternal life through himself as Jesus dying on a cross for our sin [2, 3, 4, 5] and then rising from the dead [6, 7, 8, 9].
Bible passages: 1. Revelation 20:15. 2. Matthew 27. 3. Mark 15. 4. Luke 23. 5. John 19. 6. Matthew 28. 7. Mark 16. 8. Luke 24. 9. John 20.
Mark 1:15: And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Repentance [1, 2] means to change your heart and mind toward God about your sin.
Repentance comes from godly grief/sorrow [3], which involves understanding that you have sinned against God, your creator.
Believing the gospel [4, 5] means to more than just believe that Jesus died for you and then rose from the dead, but also putting your personal trust in God to save you from his wrath.
Bible passages: 1. Luke 13:3. 2. Acts 3:19. 3. 2 Corinthians 7:10. 4. John 3:16. 5. Acts 16:31.
John 3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Once you have repented and believed the gospel, you are saved and have been born again by the Holy Spirit [1]. You will be living with God for eternity, ultimately in the new heavens and new earth [2, 3, 4, 5].
Christians (those who are saved and, therefore, born again) who die between Jesus’ ascension into heaven [6, 7] and the end of the Tribulation [8] will go to the 3rd heaven [9], which is God’s dwelling place [10]. Then Christians and survivors of the Tribulation who have been saved will enter the Millennial Kingdom with Jesus Christ [11], which will last 1 millennium (1,000 years). After the Great White Throne Judgment [12], God will present the new heavens and new earth, where Christians will spend eternity with God, free from death, mourning, crying, and pain [13].
Bible passages: 1. John 3:6. 2. Isaiah 65:17-25. 3. Isaiah 66:22-24. 4. 2 Peter 3:13. 5. Revelation 21-22. 6. Luke 24:50-51. 7. Acts 1:9-11. 8. Revelation 19. 9. 2 Corinthians 12:2. 10. Matthew 6:9. 11. Matthew 25:31-40. 12. Revelation 20:11-15. 13. Revelation 21:4.
John 10:10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Jesus Christ offers an abundant life for you. Here are some tips for increasing your relationship with God:
Read the Bible, God’s Word, and obey it [1]: All of it is useful for doctrine, reproof, correction, and righteousness instruction, so that you can be thoroughly furnished for good works [2].
Find a good church building to fellowship with other believers [3], teach the Bible, and worship God.
Preach the gospel to others around the world [4].
Bible passages: 1. James 1:22. 2. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. 3. Hebrews 10:25. 4. Mark 16:15.
The Great Commission
