-now since the topic is about sharing the gospel.. which is a message of good news -i continue to share "HOW to " - as i have experienced it to be extremely effective to do so.. by letting the message itself be the power god intended it to be
so i have now stated it based fully upon scripture alone .
--------
the Gospel is the most simple clear cut message there is .. it is such a precise simple message that the apostles and disciples who followed after them maintained the preaching of it in a "script like manner "
it comes in two simple parts .
the message and the response to the message .
the message must be preached (declared )
the response must be taught -(people dont always know how to respond to the message .
-so here it is
the message(simplified) is this : JESUS came to us and became one of us ,he was put to a violent death on the cross for OUR SIN (for he was innocent ) he lay in the ground three days and three nights and he rose again from the dead and live forever more
the response to be taught is ."repent and be baptised and you will receive the Holy Ghost (the holy Ghost is the eternal living spirit of god ..ie- eternal life )
THATS IT .. that is how simply the message is .. the lord JESus told them to preach repentance for the forgivness of sin and to baptise them and make more disciples (ie teach others to do the same healing them driving out demons preaching the gospel baptising them raising the dead and getting them baptized in the holy Spirit . )
1 Jesus -2 death- 3 resurrection
1 repent 2 baptized 3 receive holy Ghost .
on the day of pentecost peter delivered this exact message after his explanation he says .. this jesus(1) whom who crucified (2 death) has risen from the dead (3 )
and when they ask "what must we do to be saved", he replies (1) repent (2) be baptized (3) declares the promise of the holy Ghost (eternal life )
we repent to the father are baptisd into the death and resurrection of the son and recive the Holy Spirit - and are thus reconciled to "the GODhead " (3 as one) .
that is HOW SIMPLE THE GOSPEL IS ..
Paul states "i am not ashamed of the Gospel of christ Jesus for IT is the power of God unto to salvation to everyone that believes ........"
the disciples of Jesus (all who believe and obey and go on to learn to be like him) continued this same massage like "a script " a spiritual power occurs when this script is spoke in faith of obedience ..the mention of the cross and the sin brings shame on people who beleive .i have seen this occur with my own eyes ..i have seen people fall silent i have seen them manifest demons upon hearing this message and i have seen god give signs to them that the message(gospel) is the truth .
the disciples followed this script so faithfully that some 18 years later paul writes to the corinthians saying in
1 Corinthians 15:2.....and on "
Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.
I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.
this simple simple simple good news has been blurrd covered up complicated and confused by the spirit of THIS WORLD .. when in all TRUTH ..it is as simple as
123 123
JESUS , death for our sin , resurrection
repentance, baptism for the remission of sin , holy Ghost
lets get back to doing it .
when we die to self and speak this message .it has power to save those that believe and show they believe by their obedience to it .
so i have now stated it based fully upon scripture alone .

They don't want to know that He died to save them from their sins since they minimize their sins in the first place.
