The Gospel
“The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
The Word of God tells us that he “has appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness.” Are you ready for that day? Whether you are ready or not, you can be assured that, “it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment.”
To be saved, you will need to understand, acknowledge and repent of your sin and then trust the salvation of Jesus Christ. We know this because “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.”
Here are some of the great commandments from God's law (The Ten Commandments, Los Diez Mandamientos). God gave us his law as a standard of righteousness. This standard accuses you (John 5:45).
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Neither shalt thou commit adultery. Neither shalt thou steal. Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. Deuteronomy 5:6-21
The prophet Isaiah spoke of Christ and said that “he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.” Jesus did this when he affirmed the law (Matthew 5:17-19), and raised the standard of its interpretation (Matthew 5:22, 28, 37). Jesus magnified the law so that hatred in the heart is equal to murder, a lustful look is equal to adultery, and said God will not hold us guiltless for our every failure to perform our word. Jesus said that we shall give an account of every idle word that we speak.
God gave us his law to bring the knowledge of sin, to stop every mouth from justifying itself, and so that every man would know he is guilty before God.
Jesus asked this pointed question: “How shall ye escape the condemnation of hell?”
His disciples even asked him at one point, “Who then can be saved?”
“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Jesus revealed to them the good news that he came to save sinners. All have sinned, and the proof of your sin is that you will die. Ten out of ten die. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
God's law is also therefore a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified, but rather the just shall live by faith in Christ.
“For he hath made him sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He came into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:10-13
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Isaiah 53:4-8
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead. Acts 13:29-30
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
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25-26
Even as Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, so also if you believe the testimony that God has given about his son Jesus, it shall be accounted to you for righteousness.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:10-13
