What’s The Good News?

The Good News is that God is love. 1John 4:8. Let’s not make the Gospel complicated.

All you need in order to share God’s love with others is a simple faith in a simple salvation and a simple Gospel for simple people to simply believe and be saved. The whole message is so simple. You can even draw it on a napkin for them, like this: Heart=Cross.

The Good News of the love of God is summed up so simply in that beautiful verse. “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). If you can help them to understand each part of that verse that’s all you really need.

“For God so loved the world.” Who is God? He’s the Spirit of LOVE. Are they part of the world? Yes, put their name in there… “For God so loved Johnny that He gave His only begotten Son.” Who’s that? Jesus. “That whosoever believeth in Him.” Do they believe in Him and how He died in their stead? And if so, “They shall not perish,”  they will not go to hell, “but they will have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 is all you really need to know in order to tell people that God loves them. That’s all you need to preach the Gospel. That’s all the education you need to go and win the lost of the world. That’s all the preparation you really need to be a missionary.

Simply go out where the lost are, and give them His love and His Good News of salvation: Jesus! Just dedicate thirty minutes whenever you are out, and speak to someone about God’s love. They’ll be FREE forever, because of YOU.
