Good News for You
Gospel. It's a word most of us have heard and probably even used. But what does it mean? Is it an abstract theological concept? Or is it something more concrete?
Literally translated, gospel means "good news." The gospel is a message about the greatest rescue mission in history. In today's guiding verses, the Apostle Paul puts it this way: "Jesus came into the world to save sinners..."
There's no getting around it; every human being is a sinner. In Romans 3:23, Paul writes, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We've all sinned. This sin—or rebellion against what is good, right, and godly—separates us from God.
It’s interesting, but Paul admits that if you think you’re bad, he’s even worse! He calls himself the “chief” sinner. But his life is the perfect example of why the gospel is such good news. He went from persecuting Christians to becoming perhaps the greatest Christian missionary in history. The gospel has the power to do the same for you and me.
The gospel is the good news that God’s power to save you is greater than sin’s power to condemn you.
As you engage with God’s word:
● What is God saying to me?
● What does it mean to me?
● How can I apply what God is teaching me?
● How can I be specific in prayer today?
After you reflect on these questions, bring everything to God in prayer.

The gospel is the ultimate HOPE we have as followers of Jesus Christ. The book of Romans begins by sharing exactly what the gospel is – this is key to receiving the hope and freedom God has for you! Join me on this six-day journey taken from my study and devotional, Hope Again. I believe God will fill you with hope as we dive into His Word together!
