The Gospel: News or Advice?

The gospel is the key. But what is it?

Many think of it as advice. Stop sinning and be good. But it's not advice. It's news.

Advice is an opinion about what you should do. News is fact about what has already been done. Men's Health Magazine offers advice. The Charlotte Observer offers news. So does the gospel.

The gospel is the good news that God loved you so much he sent his son, Jesus, to make a way for you to be with him.

It's news to hear and believe. Not advice to follow. Hear and believe what God did. Don't try to do it yourself.
