The Essentials of the Gospel
Jeff Spencer
1. God has revealed Himself first in creation, and also in the gospel.
[Romans 1:16-20]
2. Because all mankind rejected their Creator, and replaced Him with creation instead, God gave man up to his deluding sinful choices.
[Romans 1:21-32; 3:9-10,23]
3. Man is condemned for rejecting the truth, that God intends to lead him repentance.
[Romans 1:18; 2:4-6; 6:23]
4. In love Christ died for us substitutionally, bearing our judgment to make us right with God
[Romans 3:21-26; 5:8-9; 8:1, 33-34]
5. Salvation and justification is not by works but by faith in Jesus Christ.
[Romans 3:20-28; 4:3-5, 23-25; 5:1]
6. Eternal life is through our union with Christ and our life in Him, in the same way death and sin came through our natural life in Adam.
[Romans 5:10, 12, 15-21]
7. Sin’s power and the condemnation of the law are broken through our sharing in Christ’s death
[Romans 6:3; 7:4, 6]
8. In Christ we are also raised to new life with the power to live right.
[Romans 6:4-6, 8, 22; 8:2-4]
9. This salvation is promised to anyone who in realisation of the bankruptcy of their own works, calls out in believing faith to the Lord Jesus as Lord.
[Romans 9:30-33; 10:9-13; 12:1-2]
