The Promises
The Gospel is inseparable from the promises which God made to Abraham and David in Old Testament times. These promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Acts 13:32-33; Genesis 13:14-17; 22:15-18; 2 Samuel 7:12,16; Luke 1:31-33; Galatians 3:6-9,16,,26-29.
Jesus
In his love, God sent his son, the man Jesus, into the world to save men from their sins. Those who believe in him will not perish, but have everlasting life. Matthew 1:20-21; 3:17; Luke 1:35; John 3:16.
Sacrifice of Christ
Jesus was sinless. He died to show God's righteousness and to save those who receive this sacrifice by faith. God raised him from the dead, gave him immortality, granted him all authority in heaven and on earth, and set him as the mediator between God and man. Romans 3:21-26; Ephesians 1:19-23; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 4:14-16.
Return of Jesus
Jesus will return to the earth soon. Then he will raise many of the dead, judge them with the living, and give everlasting life to the faithful in the kingdom of God. Daniel 12:2 Matthew 25:31-34; Luke 21:20-32; John 5:28-29; Acts 1:11; 2 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 22:12.
Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God will be established on earth. Jesus will be king in Jerusalem; his rule will be worldwide and his government will bring eternal righteousness and peace. Psalm 72:1-11, {tip content="For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended."}12-20; Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-7; 11:1-9 ; 61:1-6, 7-11; Jeremiah 3:17; Daniel 2:447:14, 27; Acts 3:21
