  6. THE GOSPEL SIMPLY REQUIRES YOU TO PLACE ALL OF YOUR FAITH IN
    THE DEATH, BURIAL & RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST
    AND THE BLOOD HE SHED ON THE CROSS
    FOR YOUR SALVATION

    Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you,
    which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are SAVED,
    if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that…

    CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS
    according to the scriptures;
    and that he was BURIED,
    and that he ROSE AGAIN the third day according to the scriptures:
    (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

    …In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye heard the word of truth,
    the gospel of your salvation: in whom also
    AFTER that ye BELIEVED, ye were SEALED
    with that holy Spirit of promise.
    (Ephesians 1:12-13)

    For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH;
    (Ephesians 2:8)

    …that the promise by FAITH of Jesus Christ might be GIVEN to them that BELIEVE.
    (Galatians 3:22)

    …to them which should hereafter BELIEVE on him to life everlasting.
    (1 Timothy 1:16)

    …to whom it shall be IMPUTED, if we BELIEVE on him that raised up
    Jesus our Lord from the dead;
    Who was DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES,
    and was RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION.
    (Romans 4:24-25)

    For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
    whereof ye heard before in the WORD of the TRUTH of the GOSPEL;
    Which is come unto you, as it is in ALL the world;
    and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you,
    since the day ye HEARD of it, and KNEW the GRACE of God in TRUTH:
    (Colossians 1:5-6)

    For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
    (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

    JESUS’ SUFFERING & DEATH PAID FOR THE SINS OF MANKIND
    …God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. (Romans 5:8)

    …there is ONE GOD, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man CHRIST JESUS; Who gave himself a RANSOM FOR ALL…(1 Timothy 2:5-6)

    In whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his GRACE; (Ephesians 1:7)

    Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the FORGIVENESS OF SINS: (Colossians 1:14-15)

    …having made PEACE through the BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, by him to RECONCILE ALL things unto himself. (Colossians 1:20)

    Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through HIM. 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. (Romans 5:9-10)

    Being JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the REMISSION OF SINS that are past, through the FORBEARANCE of God; (Romans 3:24-25)

    And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having FORGIVEN ALL YOUR TRESSPASSES; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS; (Colossians 2:13-14)

    But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made NIGH by the BLOOD OF CHRIST. For he is our PEACE, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us. Having ABOLISHED in his flesh the ENMITY, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making PEACE; And that he might RECONCILE both unto God in one body by the CROSS, having SLAIN the ENMITY thereby:…(Ephesians 2:13)

    I do not frustrate the GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is DEAD IN VAIN. (Galatians 2:21)

    …grace be to you and peace from God the Father,
    and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins,
    that he might deliver us from this present evil world,
    according to the will of God and our Father:
    to whom be glory for ever and ever.
    Amen. (Galatians 1:3)

    JESUS PAID FOR EVERY ONE OF YOUR SINS
    …PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE…
    BUT YOU MUST TRUST HIM AND WHAT HE DID FOR YOU TO BE FORGIVEN!
