The Simple Gospel

If you are viewing this it is because you have been curious about God but something is standing in your way. Often it is because of the complexity of how God was shared with you. The gospel is actually quite simple but as humans we tend to complex it or place additional things on top either out of nervousness or because we feel it should be more complex. Here we are trying to keep it as simple as possible. It contains all the core elements but not all the clutter of individual denominations or disputable matters as the Apostle Paul worded it.

Here is the Gospel in a few simple points:

1. We all have sinned at one point in our lives. If the first thought in your mind was that you have never sinned then I suggest you look back over your life and if you still can’t find anything then ask a friend. I am sure an honest one will point out at least one.
2. Jesus was sinless and died on the cross for our sins. There is lots of evidence and proofs of this even prophecies in writings scribed long before he existed as a human. If you want to know more of it you can click the link and find lots of resources to tell you more. However the important thing is that you believe he did this.
3. Jesus was raised from the dead and appeared to many after 3 days. Again you can click the link and dig into the resources that help with proof but the important thing in the simple gospel is that you believe this.
4. It is by grace that we are saved. All we have to do is talk to him (in prayer) and accept it. This will begin a fresh relationship with you. There is nothing else we need to do to be saved. We may feel inclined to do things because of what he did but if we do nothing else we are still saved.

The next step is to bow your head and say “God, I am a sinner and I know you died for my sins. There is nothing I can do but through grace you have forgiven me and we can start our relationship anew. I invite you into my heart and life to guide me and protect me. Amen”

That is it. If you said that prayer and meant it. Welcome to the family. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. I highly recommend that you get in touch with other believers because just like anything new we start, it is good to meet others on the same journey to learn from. If you are not sure who to connect with reach out to me. I will be happy to share the journey with you and help you find others locally that you can connect with as well.

The easiest way to reach out to me is to send me a LinkedIn request. Tell me you said the prayer or let me know that you still have questions. I will help out however I can.
