The true gospel – What is it?
In Mark 1:15 Jesus commanded, "repent and believe in the gospel." But what is the true gospel?

The true gospel is the message Jesus taught. The word "gospel" is an old English word meaning "good news." This good news about Jesus is expressed clearly in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

Every person except Jesus has sinned (Romans 3:23), and this sin is deserving of death, which includes eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23). Through the death of Jesus on the cross, we have a perfect substitute for our sins. When we place our faith in Him, our sins are forgiven (1 John 2:12), and we receive power to live an abundant life now (John 10:10) in addition to eternal life in the future.

First Peter 1:8-9 also share what takes place in the life of the person changed by the gospel: "Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." Salvation provides a wonderful joy, one that will extend into eternity.

How do you know if you have believed in the true gospel Jesus taught? Romans 10:9 teaches, "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Believing the true gospel includes accepting Jesus is Lord, the leader of your life, and that Jesus literally rose again from the dead. It is not based on good works we do, but on God's grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).

If you are uncertain you have accepted the true gospel, you can settle your doubts right now. Are you willing to place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive this free gift of eternal life? If so, you can do it right now. There is no special prayer you must pray to do so. However, the following prayer is one you can use to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the gospel message in its simplest form, how Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day.

“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:1, 14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah . And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;

He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:17-18, 21‬ ‭

jesus is claiming this is now being fulfilled

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61:1-3, 8-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬
