I tried to distill all of the elements of the Gospel message into a short but comprehensive statement. Here's what I came up with:

'Jesus the Christ,
Who Is the Only Son of God,
the Messiah,
was prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures.

He is true God and true man.

Believe that He is God, and that He is your Savior, and you will be immediately and eternally saved forever: "born again."

Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life of total love on this earth.

He was crucified on the Cross--He suffered an unimaginably painful and bloody death, in body and soul,
--He died for all of your sins, as your Substitute.

Jesus did every single thing necessary to save you--you can add nothing whatsoever to His finished work of salvation.

He was buried...

He rose again from the dead on the third day.

He lives forever--even right this minute in the room you are now in.

He now forgives you for all of your sins (past, present and future), and saves you from divine justice: everlasting fear, despair, isolation from God and His Holy Spirit, emptiness, and pain: the just punishment of your sins in Hell.

He will deliver you into everlasting love, joy, peace, fellowship, fulfillment, pleasure and happiness in Heaven--the very minute you die.

This salvation in Christ is a free gift of God's love and grace.
You can receive this free gift from God right now by simply believing the message of the Good News of God's forgiveness, which is also known as "the Gospel."'

May God bless you.
