Basic Gospel Message Outline
1. Why we need Jesus – sin
2. What Jesus did for us – the cross
3. How we are reconciled to God through Jesus – repentance and faith
Focus on Jesus
![Page 53: 2. What is the Gospel?](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051314/55500896b4c9053e168b55d3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Main Points from Man’s Perspective
1. We have a problem - separation from God due to sin- consequences: judgment, hell and wrath
2. We need a solution - Jesus is the only solution- Jesus died for our sins
3. How we acquire the solution for ourselves - repentance and faith
![Page 54: 2. What is the Gospel?](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051314/55500896b4c9053e168b55d3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Basic Gospel Message Part 1
Though we deserve judgment, hell and wrath because we turned from God, who is our Creator, to be our own gods, there is good news! God has provided the way for our sin to be forgiven so that we can be restored in our relationship with Him and become His children and live with Him forever in His eternal kingdom.
Basic Gospel Message
![Page 55: 2. What is the Gospel?](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051314/55500896b4c9053e168b55d3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Basic Gospel Message Part 2
That way is through His Son Jesus, who became a man and lived a perfect, sinless life and then went to the cross where He paid the penalty for our sin. What we need to do in order to receive this salvation is to turn from sin back to God and place our faith in Jesus and all that He did for us.
