III. Biblical understanding of the good news

nine characteristics of a healthy church.

win in today's world, the Church on many issues clear. But most important is the heart of faith - the gospel. Every Christian should pray that he gets ever greater insight into the good news that suits him salvation by trusting in Jesus Christ. A healing church is full of people who have filled her heart with this message and share it with others.

When we think about the gospel, or explain it to someone, we must remember four things.

  1. God. To understand the good news is correct, we must first know the sender of the message. It is the holy and sovereign God, Creator of heaven and earth.
  2. man. Through the sin of man that God is his Image created, separated from God. He has lost what united him with his Creator.
  3. Christ. The eternal Son of God became man. He is the mediator between God and man. He died in the place of the sinner to save him from death and to reconnect him with his holy Creator.
  4. reaction. Anyone who has seen the first three points, is called to become the good news faith. This is done not by external gestures, but the fact that one turns away from his self-centered life in sin and to re-orient its creator can.
What remains of the good news when we have these points can provide information?

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel!
Mark 1:15

Messages For Newborn Baby



In Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
Acts 11.26

After Christ by his disciples went away into the sky, spread the news from his work of salvation more and more. More and more people believed that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the people on the cross and took away their guilt. He is risen and lives. This death is overcome. Even persecution and death, the growing band of disciples diverted out of this hope. Wherever they came out well, they spoke of their Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. That is what they were quickly dubbed derisively Christians. In the eyes of those around them, they were people who just talk of the Christ.

How would give us perhaps our contemporaries, if we did not already carry the label Christians? Do they recognize us because we talk of Christ, or do you think of something else? Perhaps the following names would be more in tune with the performance of today.
