Gospel (Good News)
What is the good news?!?
Galatians 1:6 (Amplified)
I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade and deserting Him Who invited and called you by the grace (unmerited favor) of Christ (the Messiah) [and that you are transferring your allegiance] to a different [even an opposition] gospel.
The Gospel (good news) is the Grace of Jesus Christ!
What is the Grace of Jesus Christ?
2 Corinthians 8:9 (Amplified)
For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).
The Grace of Jesus Christ is that although He was rich yet for my sake He died poor to make me rich!
Another place in the Bible, it is rendered like this:
Acts 13:38-39
38So let it be clearly known and understood by you, brethren, that through this Man forgiveness and removal of sins is now proclaimed to you;
39And that through Him everyone who believes [whoacknowledges Jesus as his Savior and devotes himself to Him] is absolved (cleared and freed) from every charge from which he could not be justified and freed by the Law of Moses and given right standing with God.
Forgiveness of sins is the Mother of all blessings!
