The Gospel of Facts...

The Gospel of God is a Gospel of facts. They are so definitely stated in the Word of God that none need mistake them. The wonder is that many do. First of all, it is clearly and distinctly stated that:

All Are Sinners

Both Old and New Testaments declare this fact. "There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not" (Ecclesiastes 7:20). "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12).

God Loves Sinners

This is also a blessed fact. "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" (John 3:16). "The world" includes every sinner in it today. To give it a personal application--God loves you, He loves me, just as we are. To believe this fact dispels the thick darkness that disturbs many minds regarding God, His character, and His doings. Can you say, "I believe that God loves me, even though I am a sinner"?

Christ Died For Sinners

"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)--died on our account, giving Himself "a ransom for all" (1 Timothy 2:6). It is generally believed that it was for a select and special class, who had been brought within the circle of "a covenant" that the Saviour died. But here God's Word makes plain beyond all doubt for whom Christ died. It was for "sinners." It was for "all." Nothing can negate or contradict this great fact. Do you believe it? Can you say, "The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20)? This is how God wants you to appropriate it, to make it your own.

All Sinners That Believe Are Saved

"All that believe are justified from all things" (Acts 13:39). "By grace are ye saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8). This gives certainty. It leaves no room for doubt. "Are justified" and "are saved"--mean now, at the present time. It is not a vague hope, but a grand certainty, a present reality. Doubt no more. Hesitate no longer. Believe these plain facts of God's Word. As a needy sinner, trust the One who died for you and rose again as your personal Lord and Saviour. Then you "may know that ye have eternal life" (1 John 5:13), and enter into the enjoyment of His great salvation, which the Gospel proclaims.
