Ok nick, no problem. "Now I make known to you brethren, THE GOSPEL which I preached to you, and which also you received, in which also you stand, BY WHICH YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried and that He was rasied on the third day according to the Scriptures."

I don't think I can improve on what the Apostle Paul stated at 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. What say you and welcome to the forums. :eek:

IN GOD THE SON,

I just copied that to paste it here, you saved me a little time LOL

The amazing part is it is that simple, all the other stuff is a result of this simple message and the saddest part are there are many that don't know what the Gospel is and waist their time on those things that they think is the Gospel.

I can't do one paragraph. I'll try to be brief, but also not leave anything out.

We were naturally inclined, spiritual dead, and stand condemned in our transgressions and sins. He has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in perfect righteousness and justice (Acts 17:31). On that day, all of the dead will come back to life and everyone will give an account for their every word, thought, and deed before the Son of God, even the secret and hidden things will be brought to light. Our just end against God and his infinite holiness is an eternal punishment in hellfire.

The good news is that this same God, who is perfect in all righteousness and goodness and justice, has provided the way for sinners to find reconciliation with him, and that is through that same Judge that He has appointed. He sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to become one of us, but without sin in his nature, and united his divine nature with his human nature in his one person, thus being perfectly God and perfectly man. He was born and he lived entirely under that same law of God that condemns all of us, which could never have saved us if we had obeyed it. Then he was crucified on the cross, but more than that, on that cross he experienced the suffering and the eternal weight of the wrath of God against all kinds of sin imaginable for sinners. "It is finished." After having been enclosed in the tomb for three days dead, he came back to life and appeared to his disciples for forty days before ascending into heaven. He remains there until that final day of the coming judgment, in which he will come back as the Judge.

He has commanded everyone everywhere to turn from their sins, including their sinful lifestyle, and put their trust in him and his work of redemption, and they will be saved and reconciled to God. Through faith in him, Christ has satsified the wrath of God in their place, and they are declared righteous before God by his perfect obedience credited to their account. When Christ comes at the resurrection, they will immediately enter into his glory, because their just sentence against their sin was satisfied and their only righteousness found in Christ.

If you want Scripture references, which I didn't finish, just ask.
