The commandment in Mark 16:15 to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" is becoming more compelling every day. But what is the gospel? And how do I share it at any given time; at lunch, in an elevator or in a pulpit? Below is my attempt at a summary of the gospel -as an introduction to the Bible's account of the greatest love the world has ever known. I refer to it as the Gospel Concise.

"God is altogether good and though we all have rebelled against Him, He changes not. Before creation began, God ordained His Son Jesus to save us from what is killing us, lead us into the truth about God, crush every opposition to God’s good and perfect will and establish the Kingdom of God forever. All that receive Jesus as Lord will eternally enjoy His rule. All that reject His rule will be eternally destroyed. EVERYONE LISTEN! The Kingdom of God is coming!"

Please let me know anything God gives you in response. The aim is to point to Him!
