One of the many books that I’m reading right now is “The Gospel & Personal Evangelism” by Mark Dever. When prospective members seek to join his church in Washington, DC, he asks them to share the Gospel in 1 minute or less. What an outstanding way that is to see if people truly undertand what they profess to believe!
Here is his :60 second summary of the “Good News”:
“The good news is that the one and only God, who is holy, made us in his image to know him. But we sinned and cut ourselves off from him. In his great love, God became a man in Jesus, lived a perfect life, and died on the cross, thus fulfilling the law himself and taking on himself the punishment for the sins of all those who would ever turn and trust in him. He rose again from the dead, showing that God accepted Christ’s sacrifice and that God’s wrath against us had been exhausted. He now calls us to repent of our sins and to trust in Christ alone for our forgiveness. If we repent of our sins and trust in Christ, we are born again into a new life, and eternal life with God.”
Now… THAT is good news!!!
