Summary: Why all should be saved by the Godly hand of the Lord.

WHAT THE HEART OF THE GOSPEL IS.

Romans5: 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

(1) Because of Condemnation.

We are sinners by birth

We are sinners by choice

We are sinners by practice

(2) By Commendation

The Lord loved us

God loved us before we loved him

He loved us in spite of our sins and shortcomings

God loved us without selfish thoughts or motives

(3) Consummation

Christ died for us

Christ died to redeem us from all our sins

Christ died to reconcile us to God

Christ died to be buried.

To be raised from the dead

Ascend into heaven

To send the Holy Spirit to regenerate our soul
