---THE RESURRECTION AND THE GOSPEL / HOLY BIBLE ~~ ---(--Please Read in your Holy Bible /-Romans 10:5-11)-- 
---If you were to briefly explain the gospel to someone, what would you include? It would be necessary to explain: the reason we all need salvation—our sin; the identity of the Savior—God’s Son, who chose to become a man; and the price He paid for our forgiveness—His death on the cross. Another important thing to include would be how one can be saved—by repenting of sin, believing in Christ, and calling on Him for salvation. However, there is one more essential aspect: - belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:9). If people deny this, they have rejected the gospel and cannot be saved. The resurrection proves that Jesus is the Son of God, who overcame death. It also affirms that God was satisfied with His Son’s death as the sacrifice for mankind’s sins. The disciples considered Christ’s resurrection an essential part of the gospel they proclaimed. As eyewitnesses, they were so convinced of this that nothing could dissuade them. The resurrection was also the primary message Paul delivered as he traveled around the Roman world, preaching the gospel. And it should be our message as well. Because Christ rose from the dead, we have assurance of both God’s forgiveness and our own future resurrection. --IN TOUCH~[* --*Friends, there are many people that say, "Yes, I believe in God." Or, "I believe Jesus." However, we must remember, believing is not the most important part. The most important part is following in His steps. We know from Scripture, "You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder [tremble]"-[James 2 verses 18-19].
--**It is not enough to only believe. We must read and obey His Word. As you accept His word, as Paul said, --" What does it say? The Word of faith which we are are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For 'Whoever will call on the Name of the Lord will be saved"- [Romans 10:8,9,10,13]. "Without faith it is impossible to please God; for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" -[Hebrews 11:6]. --[Believers] ="Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart; For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring Word of God.-1 Peter 1: 22,23] ~~~~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
