The Gospel in 10 Words
Fallen and Flawed recently asked twelve bloggers to summarize the Gospel in 10 words or less. While the exercise is intentionally provocative, summarizing your faith in 10 paltry words does force you to examine the fundamentals of your beliefs.
Here are three of my favorites from the resulting list:
- “Whole world sorted, put right, made friends again through Christ.†Andrew Jones [Tall Skinny Kiwi]
- “Christ died for our sins, was raised and is Lord.†Trevin Wax [Kingdom People] quoting Martin Luther.
- “Be sick. Be loved.†Jon Acuff [Stuff Christians Like]
And here’s my humble addition:
“Grace and peace proffered in the loving name of Jesus.”
What about you? How would you summarize the Gospel in 10 words or less?
Jesus died for the bad stuff we do full stop
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; You will be saved!
We are sick, we need help, Jesus helps us.
Repent and believe in the power of Jesus’ resurrection.
Confess you are sinner, Be baptist and follow Jesus and died with him live with him forever.
it’s one beggar telling another beggar where the bread is.
We sin, we die, Jesus died, we are now free.
Jesus died and rose to save sinners. You qualify.
I’m dead in sin but saved by faith in Jesus.
Jesus died for our sin, we are forgiven now.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
[...] One thing led to another and I found myself on Gospel.com Blog and the Gospel in 10 Words [...]
All things new in the blood of Christ the Lord.
God gave Jesus to have mankind back to himself forever
My sin,God’s Grace, Christ died 4 me
monster soul turned into peace by Jesus death and resurrection
For some reason this was easier than I though it would be.
Be still and know that I am God.
God is love. Jesus is God.
God gives Grace (life) to the broken and sick hearted.
What GOD has for me man can’t take it away.
The story of what God has done on man’s behalf.
