JUST WHAT IS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?....."1 Corinthians 15: 1-8

         "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."
    "For God sent not His son into the world to con-
demn the World, but that the World through Him
might be saved.   John 3: 16-17

   "There is, therefore, now no condemnation to 
those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk
according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me
free from the law of sin and death."   Romans 8:1

     Jesus Christ, God the Son, was prophesied in
Isaiah 53: 1-3.  "Who has believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord been revealed? 
For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant. And as a root out of dry ground.  He has 
no form or comliness that we should desire Him.  He is despised and rejected by men.  A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.  And we hid, as it were our faces from Him."  Read the chapter. It's about our Lord, Jesus Christ, reiterated fully in the New Testament.  Christ died for our sin, 
He was buried, then rose on the third day.  
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4.
   He was seen of above five-hundred of the breth-
ren at one time.  1 Corinthians 15: 6, He was seen of 
Cephas, (Simon Peter) and all of  the Apostles.  
John 20: 24-31.  He  ascended to His Father, and 
is at the right hand of the Father, making interces-
sion for believers who remain. Romans 8: 34... He 
was last  seen of Paul, appearing to  him after His
Ascension to the Father. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

   Because of this revelation, Paul was accepted 
by the eleven as  an Apostle.  (One requirement 
for an Apostle was to have seen the Lord Jesus Christ after his bodily resurrection. 

    
   Christ promised  power of His Holy Spirit to 
His followers, at his Ascension. Acts 1:8     
Our relationship with our Lord is based on 
Faith in God  and His Word.  The "Word" is 
also a name applied  to our Lord,  Jesus Christ (John 1:14, & Revelations 19: 11-16)
 



      "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the 
   Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that 
    God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt
   be saved.  For with the heart ma believeth unto
    righteousness, and with the mouth, confession 
  is made unto salvation."  
    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the 
  Lord shall be saved."   
                       Romans 19: 9-10,13

 "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have 
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
  By whom also we have access by faith into this 
    grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of 
  the glory of God."  Romans 5: 1-2

         "Now the just shall live by faith..." 
                  Hebrews 10: 38a

    "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, 
     the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the 
     elders obtained a good report.Hebrews 11:1-2
