Colossians 1:12-13, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

If you have never trusted Christ alone as YOUR Savior and are not sure of your eternity, simply receive the truth which God has recorded in His Holy Word. The Gospel is not Good News to be carried out as a lifetime commitment to live the Christian life, God forbid. That would be works! That is the Satanic garbage that Bob Jones University preaches nowadays!!! The Gospel is simply the “Good News” that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God Who DIED on the cross for our sins. He was BURIED. And then three days later Jesus miraculously RESURRECTED from the dead by the power of God (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). These three things comprise THE GOSPEL—Christ died on a cross, was buried and raised up the third day. Here is a wonderful, short and concise presentation of the Gospel...
