How many people have heard the Gospel but not understood it? How many still rely on their own efforts to “become a Christian” instead of trusting in Christ’s finished work of reconciliation? Considering these questions, Alistair Begg clarifies the Gospel’s central message: our alienation from God is overcome when we consider this crucial and costly decision, admit our sin and need for a Savior, and respond in repentance and faith.
15and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.2 The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling3 the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
21She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
