Understanding the gospel message of Jesus begins with a powerful verse from Romans 10:13 (NIV): "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
The gospel of Jesus is beautifully simple yet profoundly transformative. Jesus lived a sinless life and died on the cross for our sins. Through His death and resurrection, we are offered true and everlasting life. By choosing to believe in Jesus, we can experience His undeserved gift of forgiveness and love through faith.
This simplicity can also be what makes the gospel controversial: we don't have to work for or earn our salvation. It is freely given to us by God through faith in Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9).
If you choose to believe in Jesus and put your faith in Him, you are saved. If you've ever questioned your salvation, take comfort in this promise. The path to Jesus is straightforward: trust in Him, and you are truly saved. From there, continue to believe in and follow Jesus every day.
