The simplicity of the Gospel

 ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

                                                                                                                John 3 : 16 - 18

Sometimes we can lose the simplicity of the Gospel , the Gospel in it's most simple form is that Jesus was brought into the World to save it and that whoever will come to believe in him has eternal life and will not perish , faith in Jesus alone is the way to Salvation , no works , no religious conditions , fancy music , or "alternative" ways of presenting the Gospel , just faith in the Gospel of Jesus alone and the most effective way to share the Gospel is by the word of God . 


   ¹² For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 
            
                                                                                                              Hebrews 4 : 12


We need to be careful that the word of God is being presented to unbelievers , too many churches today are neglecting sin , hell , the need for Savior , judgement , repentence . There are churches that deny parts of the Bible , churches that mix false religions , churches that are more worried about your life being prosperous than they are about lost souls. The big danger is that if you think you are good enough for Heaven on your own than you don't need a Savior and if you don't need a Savior than you are in big trouble....

  Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
                                                                                                              Hebrews 9 : 22 (ESV)

The law is God's law and the reality is that everyone has violated it , so let's not neglect the Gospel message , but let's not make it too complicated either , the simple answer is that faith in Jesus alone is the way to Salvation , for if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved (Romans 10 : 9-10)
