Scripture

I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me: Christ died for our sins as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the scriptures said.

Observation

The Good News saves us if we continue to believe in the message. Paul passed on the most important truth that Christ died for our sins.

After He died, Christ rose again, and was seen by more than 500 people, and finally by Paul himself.

Whatever Paul is now, it is all God’s special favour. It doesn’t matter who brings the gospel, for it is the same message.

Application

The heart of the gospel, of everything that christians believe, is this: Christ died for our sins.

Jesus paid the price of forgiveness when He died on the cross.

This is awesome news indeed! We were destined for punishment because of all the things we had done wrong. But Jesus, the Son of God, turned it all around. Instead of punishment, we are receiving joy and eternal life.

Prayer

Thank you, Lord for the simplicity of the gospel. Thank you for your great love for me and that you took the punishment for my sins. I am free! Hallelujah!
