He told his disciples to go into the world and tell the people He had paid for their sins and that those who believe in Him will be forgiven have eternal life.

From the Christian point of view (neither Catholic nor Jew) is that we all freely reject the divine law, without exception. So we are all guilty and deserving eternal punishment. No one is "good". The only thing that can save us is to fulfill the two conditions of the gospel. The first condition is to recognize our past crimes (sins) and abandon our current crimes (repentance). The second condition is to recognize that we deserve eternal justice for these crimes, to recognize that eternal justice has already fallen into someone else, Jesus, and so, we can now appropriate that justice that has been fulfilled through Jesus´ sacrifice.

John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

The word know means the same as Adam knew Eve—total intimacy, oneness. We are betrothed to Jesus. We need to act like a fiancee.

Repent, Repent, Repent and confess Jesus as Lord and Saviour in all faith, praise, humility and gratitude.......Amen.

I wrote two books on this subject. This is a very in depth subject to dispel what has been taught over the last 1900 years within the ‘church’. Hence two books written and a third on they way. What an interesting poll though. Thanks for the invite.

To discover what Jesus told them to preach, all we have to do is look at what they preached. The gospel he whispered in their ears and they shouted from the housetops is the same message they eventually wrote down in the epistles and gospels.

The entire NT is the gospel.

The Gospel message is a simple message and never intended to be complicated. Paul explains it clearly in the letter to the 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, also Romans chapters 5-7! All through the four Gospel accounts you can see Those who placed their faith in who Jesus claimed to be ( the Messiah ) and what He came to do! How amazing it is and grateful we should be each and every day!🙏

The Gospel is rooted in Obedience and Trust.
Reflecting on this stirs "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The apostles definitely preached what Jesus commanded them to preach.

Acts 2:14-36 - the first sermon of the early church
compare with
1 Corinthians 15:1-4

The same message.

We are saved in Christ alone... whose death, burial and resurrection paid the price for our sin and defeated death... There is nothing we can add to his perfect sacrifice...

However, without repentance we reject his free gift of salvation...and our God has chosen the path of love not compulsion... No one shall be compelled to accept eternal life with him...

So, the gospel is both: the sacrifice of Jesus in our place and our repentance (turning away) from our sins to freely accept that gift...

The message of the Gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Responses:

Correct response - repentance and faith.

Wrong response - rejection and unbelief.

Only subtle idea to add to everyone else is that while we should preach and teach on baptism, I don’t think this was Jesus’s intention. I think preaching the gospel is simple. Obviously, baptizing is a something we do upon accepting the gospel, and it’s difficult to really separate it from the gospel (separating it was certainly not the intention of Jesus). However, to preach the gospel focuses primarily on what Christ did for us. We get baptized because of the gospel and I think this passage directs us there.

Robert

Thank you for inviting me to this poll. My answers are as follows:

*Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection in our place for our sins.
* Repent and be baptized for the remission of your sins.

As we read Acts 2, we see the day of Pentecost had come and each of the believers who were in the upper room were filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking in tongues which amazed those who had heard it, even caused some confusion to the Jewish men as they heard each man was speaking their own tongue/language. However, Peter took this opportunity to declare/preach the Lord Jesus Christ to them and to explain more fully what was happening. In his sermon, Peter referred to the verse of scripture declared by the prophet Joel in C2, vs 28-32 for clarity, then as we read in vs 22-38 (of Acts 2) he conveys the message of the gospel beginning with Jesus' death and resurrection.

When the crowd heard all that Peter had to say, they were indeed pricked in their hearts and wanted to know what they should do. It is in vs 38-39 that Peter gives them this response: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

My thoughts: I can only imagine the scene as God's mighty power descended upon all those present in the upper room. As each man spoke in the tongue of another through the working of the Holy Spirit, those who were within earshot found it strange perhaps but also something awesome to behold and unexplainable. Their thoughts might have been "how was it even possible?" But when God does something it truly is marvellous and the timing well-executed because this caused such a stir amongst the people and they wanted to understand, they wanted to know more. God uses Peter to bring His good news message of His Son Jesus and all that He had done to those far and wide - those ready to hear and receive it.

Having the desire to declare the gospel message to the lost (weary souls) is a good start, yet there also needs to be love. Love that would compel/move us to care enough for each person we meet who do not know Jesus. The experience may not be like what we see here in Acts 2, but it is powerful and meaningful just the same because it is God working in the midst. As believers, when engaging with those who do not know Jesus, we need to be still, open to listen and engage with the person. Ask for wisdom and listen keenly and prayerfully for the Holy Spirit to guide us because each person's life journey is unique to them and God knows their story and exactly where they are at. He will fill our mouths with the words to be said at the appropriate time.

Now here. Was a hard poll because it had three answers that belonged as the whe answer.

You must repent from the sin and be baptized. Yes
But in the spirit and most essential answer is that we are to preach thr gospel to all creatures.

The gospel is Jesus Christ was Fully God and man That Christ came to redeem us from sin and death
That Christ raised up in ressurection and sits at the right hand of God.

And those of us that believe in Christ shall not die eternal death but live eternal life with Christ. And we who are called by the name of Christ can go forth preaching the gospel under the authority of His name. Casting out demons healing the sick raising the dead. Feeding the hungry
Clothing the naked visting the prisoner. Helping the sick assisting the orphaned and widow.

Because Christ first did this for us. Having recieved this aide we give this aid. This is preaching the gospel in whole.

While recieving the gospel does want us to repent from our sins and being baptized is the action of us in repentance. We first must know the gospel inorder to repent from our sins.

Salvation first giving us the knowlege then the change of heart and reptentance follows. For jow could one repent if what he doesnt know is wrong?

The Gospel = God's Power To Salvation

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ : for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Be Sure You Have The Correct Gospel

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried , and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

It's faith plus the law. When a rich man asked Jesus how to obtain eternal life Jesus said keep the commands of my Father, when the rich man said he already does that, Jesus then said sell your possessions and follow me, the order of Jesus' responses is important. Jesus also said he came to fulfilled the law not abolish it. Paul said "Do we nullify the law because of this faith? Absolutely not!". The law wasn't what was nailed to the cross, it was our sins. Jesus said "depart from me you workers of lawlessness". So it it the law plus our faith.

Why don't you include everything Jesus told the rich young ruler?

Jesus told him:
* Keep the commandments
* Sell everything you have
* Give it to the poor

Odd that you only include:

* Follow me (Jesus)

Hmmm... so you don't have eternal life? Since you have not sold everything and given it to the poor!

That is not what Acts 15:24 means, he's saying those that have came to you trouble you with their teachings for which we have no instructions, look at other translations of that verse.

"Hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified" -Romans 2:13

"If you are a law breaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcised" -Romans 2:25

"For we conclude that a person is justified by faith a part from the works of the law" -Romans 3:28

"Do we nullify the law throught faith? Absolutely not! On the contrary we uphold the law" -Romans 3:31

"Keeping God's commands is what matters" -1Corinthians 7:19

"For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness" - 2Corinthians 6:14

Matthew 19:16-21
"Teacher what must I do to gain eternal life?"
"Why do you ask me about what is good? Jesus replied. There is only one who is good, keep the commands of my Father"
"All of these I have kept"
"If you want to be perfect then go sell all your possessions and give to the poor, then come follow me".

The order in which Jesus responded to this man mattered, Jesus made sure this man was FIRST keeping the law/commands, then secondly he told him to follow him.

Many times we see in scripture that Jesus was a servant of God sent to do his Father's will, not his own will. Jesus sacrificed himself to cover our sins and include repentant gentiles into the covenant.

Thank you for your opinion regarding Acts 15:24.

As for me I will believe exactly what the Bible says!

Feel free to attempt to be righteous by doing the law!

As for me I will agree with the word of God that says no one is righteous by The works of the law!

Thank you for your opinions regarding the Rich Young ruler... As for me I will believe exactly what the Bible says.

I see that you conveniently ignored Romans 3:27... Nothing like ripping a verse of scripture out of context.

1 Corinthians 7:19 does say keeping God's commands as what matters... It does not say keeping the Ten Commandments is what matters.

1 Timothy 1 tells us that the law was made for the lawless... Since you claim the law was made for you by God's word you are the lawless one.

100% guarantee that it is impossible for you to quote any new covenant verse of scripture that says...

Keep the law of Moses

Not one!

Everything I said in my reply was scripture from the Bible, at this point your not arguing with me, you're debating God's word since that is what I provided. The majority of Christians (protestant ones) believe the same way you do, contrary to what scripture says. So you tell me, if what you and the many others are right then why is Jesus only coming back for a remnant. It is because you willfully ignore his Father's commands, which is when Jesus will say "Depart from me you workers of lawlessness".
The majority of the world identifes as "Christian" according to the 2020 findings, standing at over 2.3 billion people, so why would he only come back for a very small amount? Clearly something is wrong. And that something is the vast majority thinking the law was nailed to the cross when in fact it was sin that was nailed upon it.

My response: This is a lie!

NO? i did not think so!

Ashley wrote: "It is because you willfully ignore his Father's commands..."

My response: Your god tells you to keep the ministry of DEATH and CONDEMNATION.

My God has set me free from the law of SIN and DEATH!
__________

2 Corinthians 3:7-9

7 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end,

8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory?

9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.

1 Corinthians 15:3 & 4 - For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Robert wrote: "Sonja wrote: "1 Corinthians 15:3 & 4 - For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with with the Scriptures, that he was buried, ..."

Exactly, Christ took the punishment of our sins, not the Law. He even said he didn't come to abolish the law in Matthew 5:17

Matthew5:8
"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all things are accomplished"

Has heaven and earth passed away yet? No. So the law still stands until Jesus comes back. We are saved by grace through his sacrifice we received salvation, but he still told us to keep his Father's Law. That is what sets us apart. His sacrifice was not a free pass to live how ever you want and all is just forgiven.

Hebrews 10:26
"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins"

Jesus took our punishment of sin on the cross, not take away the law as he said he didn't come to abolish it. If you keep sinning after knowing the truth then his sacrifice for you is void. The earth and heaven hasn't passed away yet, the law remains in place for us to follow so that we may be a light for others to see and not hypocrites living worldly.

Jesus NEVER told anyone to keep the Ten Commandments.

So the bottom line is that you have NO New Covenant command to keep the law of Moses ?

Not even one?

Allow me to give you one...

Acts 15:5 - But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

Jesus DID tell them to keep the commandments which was what he told the rich man. His 1st response was making sure the commandments were being followed, after the rich man said he already does that, Jesus said if you want to be perfect then sell your possessions and follow me, the order of his respond is important.

The lawless one is Satan.

Matthew 5:20
"For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

The Pharisees weren't wrong for keeping Law, they were wrong for not believing Jesus was messiah and for their traditions that weren't part of the law.

Deuteronomy 6:6-8
" These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your FOREHEADS"

Revelation 22:4
"They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads."


Jesus told us to keep the commands first, and to also follow him. Keeping the commands won't save us but if Jesus said do it, I think it'd be wise to do so. It is the commands that set us apart from the world.
Lawlessness comes from Satan who has rebelled since the beginning. Don't be fooled by this foolish strong disillusion that we no longer need to keep the commands.

Heaven and earth haven't passed away, do the law remains.

Ashley wrote: "Jesus DID tell them to keep the commandments which was what he told the rich man..."

My response: NOPE!

* Jesus told him to keep the commandments...
* Jesus told him to sell everything...
* Jesus told him to give it all to the poor...
* Jesus told him to follow him...

You LIE and say Jesus ONLY SAID keep the law!

You cherry pick only the parts that you can TWIST and DISTORT to suit you.

Yes, the law was not good enough in terms of our salvation, we combine that with faith in Christ Jesus. Which is why Jesus told the rich man keep the commands and if you want to be perfect follow me.

Before I go, because I I've said all I needed to with supporting scripture, please do not bare false witness against me by calling me a liar. You claim that I told you "Jesus said to only keep the law" which anyone who reads this thread will come to find out I never said that. I said Jesus told the rich man to keep his Father's commands as the first response, then the second response was Jesus telling him to sell his possessions and follow him. Which is what scripture says.
Where in any of my comments did I say Jesus said to only keep the law?
It's faith in Jesus plus keeping the law commanded of us.
I hope you have a blessed day, for now I dust my feet to you.

You LIED and said Jesus told the rich young ruler to keep the commands and then you neglected the fact that He told him to sell everything.

You have LIED again, claiming to have supported your heretical doctrine with Scripture. you have NOT quoted even ONE NT verse (in context) where anyone commanded people to keep the law of Moses.

Matthew 28:16–20
Romans 1 : 16

Hello,


Is there anyone out there who can explain what exactly we are supposed to use/follow as our 'moral' compass/code with regards to our conduct&behaviour.......if it is not the 10 Commandments, as laid-out to Moses by Almighty God, then what exactly?


Thanks in advance for your informed respone.

I believe more than one answer is correct. So the gospel was
; Jesus died and rose from the dead for our sins, he gave us life. So we need to get baptised and repent (regularly) so this new life takes effect in us. The new life is regenerates us to become who we were created to be. Part of embracing the new life is to do the good works, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit and following the commandments (Jesus said I give you new commandment that you love one another). All of This what I believe the gospel is.

Good morning Mina and yes, "Greater is He Who is in me, than he who is in the world" 1 John 4:4

We as Christian's and believer's in the Faith cannot hope to thrive&survive in this world of Satan' unless we are filled with His Spirit, which helps&guides us to navigate our way through the potential pitfalls we encounter on a daily basis via lust&temptation, this brought about through love of pleasure, money&self.

Have a blessed day in Christ Jesus.

I believe they would have preached about Jesus being the Messiah, His Crucufiction and Resurrection, as well as everything he did during His ministry, and what He taught them.

Being led by the Holy Spirit is infinitely superior to being led by the law of Moses.

Jesus demonstrates this fact in many places in Matthew chapter 5. First, Jesus quotes the law of Moses. Then, Jesus tells us that the law is not good enough!

For example:

Matthew 5:21-22 - Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you , That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

A Spirit-led life glorifies God.

A law-led life glorifies self. (Just look at the Pharisees)

Hello Robert,

Do you, yourself, believe that 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, is the 'only' way to achieve salvation through Christ Jesus?

Only ask, as it was my search for the Truth that initially led myself to the Bible narrative, and 'this' only after around 3yrs before I consequently understood&embraced fully the Gospel Message,

As much as I do appreciate that personal belief in the death, burial and the resurection of Christ Jesus is at the crux/core of salvation along with the repentance of sin (undertaken regularly), I do not believe that this is necessarily the only 'way' to Truth ie salvation, contrary to what many professed teachers of the Faith would claim otherwise.

Your brother in Christ Jesus.

If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, then yes, it is the ONLY message of salvation.

100% of the Gospel sermons in the Bible preach the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

As for repentance and faith, those are correct responses to the Gospel. They are no the message of the Gospel.

Example: Preach Jesus died on the Cross for your sins, He was buried, and he rose victorious from the grave.

Correct response: Repentance and faith.
Wrong response: Rejection and unbelief.

But as I said, if you do not embrace the Bible as the Word of God... pretty much any belief is fair game.

Hello Robert,

I think that perhaps I didn't quite phrase my last point clearly enough. Do you believe that somebody (anybody) who states that they were led to God ie salvation 'outside' of hearing 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is possibly 'not' saved ie their salvation is flawed?......an example being my own testimony, whereby it was upon discovering that the worlds nations do not print their own currencies, and in fact have their currency printed&loaned to them 'at interest' by privately run&owned banking cartels, practically guaranteeing a catastrophic failure at some point (I believe imminently).

It was this 'revelation' of knowledge that led me (eventually) to the Bible narrative, not hearing someone proclaim&preach 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, and it was praying my first prayer Mathew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" that started me on my journey (Walk with the Lord) of discovery of Truth, as this is exactly what I prayed for; "To be shown the Truth of the world".......this was approx 5yrs past, but I only Truly received the Spirit of our Lord Jesus around 2&a half yrs past, this while prostrate on my bedroom floor praying.

Personally, I believe exactly what the Bible says.

Rom 1:16 - The Gospel is God's power unto salvation

John 14:6 - The true Jesus of the Bible is the only way of salvation

Gal 1:8-9 - preachers of any other gospel should be accursed

1 Cor 15:1-6 - is the only Gospel message

God can use anything for His glory...but if you don't come to Him by the only true Gospel... I don't believe there is any other message of salvation.
