1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.”

To be an effective witness, you must know the simple truths of the gospel!

There are two essentials in the gospel, according to Paul: 1) Christ died for our sins. Evidence? He was buried. 2) Christ was raised from the dead and is alive today. Evidence? He appeared to many people.

Christ died for our sins and he’s alive today for us to know him. You must lock these two foundational truths of the gospel in your mind so that on the spur of the moment you know what to share with someone.

Of course, as you discuss these things with them your conversation will go deeper into why we need Christ to die for our sins and what it means to know him. But that will all flow as long as you hold the core in your mind.

MAKE IT PERSONAL:

Take a moment to memorise these two basic truths of the gospel. Write them down! This will help. Share them with several of your friends over the next few days to make sure they are locked in.
