How to Share the Gospel

10 Gospel Facts:
1. You're not a good person (Romans 3:23), and you are not a child of God (John 8:44)
2. Jesus Christ is God (John 1:1)
3. God humiliated himself by becoming like you (Philippians 2:7&8)
4. If you believe in justice, then everything you've done wrong has a pay day (Hebrews 9:27)
5. The payout for your sin is death (Romans 6:23)
6. You cannot stop sin, and you cannot fix it (Romans 7:19)
7. God paid for your sins by becoming your death on a cruel cross (Philippians 2:8)
8. God's death became the full satisfaction of Divine justice (Hebrews 2:17)
9. You need to say thank you for that, because you're not God, and you can't do a better job (Romans 3:22)
10. You need to say sorry to God for messing up His plan (Isaiah 53:6), & if you can say sorry, it's because He granted that to you (Acts 5:31)

Because God the Father is completely satisfied with His Son's sacrifice, you receive from Him as a gift, His purity, His forgiveness, and His adoption of you as a child into His family. You don't deserve it, and there is not a single thing you can do to earn it, not now, or in the future. God gives it as a gracious gift to His enemies. Your humility receives that gift with gratitude.
Welcome home!
