“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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
–1Corinthians 15:3-8
The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple enough: three sentences.
Six verses of the Bible.
YET, many in the churches do NOT know the gospel; therefore, they can not preach it to others.
This sad state of affairs is the responsibility of those who run the buildings we call “churches.” The gospel is endlessly referred to and talked about: it is just not preached.
Counterfeit Churches: Do Not Know the Gospel, Can’t Preach It
There is a reason for this: the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
Since the churches are the property of Satan, salvation and God’s requirements for salvation are not high on their list of things to do.
HOWEVER, other gospels ARE a standard feature.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
–Galatians 1:8-9

IF the reader knows the gospel of Jesus Christ, then preach it to others: it is a COMMAND of Jesus Himself.
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”
–Mark 16:15,20
IF the reader preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ, he will certainly, at some point, see the power of God. He will see the greatest miracle: the total transformation of a man from abject sinner to a child of God.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
–2Corinthians 5:17
This transformation into a new creature is something which is endlessly talked about–but seldom seen. It is downplayed by the worldly: they would rather yak-yak-yak about hidden, occult things. But it is one of the greatest miracles of God Almighty.
“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”
–Luke 15:7
IF the reader knows the gospel of Jesus Christ, he is to preach it to all he meets, particularly in the times in which we now live.
Even if it costs the reader his life.
IF the reader does not know the gospel of Jesus Christ, he would be wise to learn it.
And then preach it to others.
Even if it costs the reader all that he has.
DOES the reader understand that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the “power of God unto salvation“?
DOES the reader realize that it is the gospel of Jesus Christ–not the ABC’s of Salvation, not the Roman Road, not John 3:16, not talking with someone about your faith, not discipleship, not the churches–on which eternal salvation hinges?
DOES the reader know the gospel of Jesus Christ?
HAS the reader preached the gospel of Jesus Christ?
IF not, there is still time to repent, call on God and enter the kingdom of heaven.
DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL
“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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
