Of first importance.
The apostle Paul wrote,
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures," 1 Corinthians 15:3.
Writing to the Romans Paul states,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
This is the Gospel message. Anything else is not the gospel.
In the gospel of John Jesus speaking of himself states,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". John 3:16-18.
If you consider yourself a Christian and are not presenting this message to those around you. You are falling short of what Jesus wants us to do.
As Christians we must be telling those around us about the love of God and what Christ has done for us.
Are you?
Please think about it.
