JESUS SALVATION AND JESUS COMING
THE SIMPLE GOSPEL
When the Apostle John was writing there were certain false doctines being introduced into the church. Since then, there have been many more false teachers, each attempting to add some "new revealed truth from God" that only they have been given. Most often the result is that the purity and simplicity of the Gospel message is compromised. In other words, they try to add to the requirements of salvation.
But, the Gospel is profoundly simple. It can be summed up easily, and understood by children. One of the best summaries of the Gospel is found in 1 John 3:23: "This is [God's] command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another." This verse is a salvation sermon with just two points: believe on Christ, and love others.
The first point -- believing on Christ -- describes the proper response to the Gospel message. Simple, child-like belief in Christ saves us from the penalty of our sin. Nothing else is required. God's will for his Son was to become our Savior. God's will for us is to believe in him as Savior. The Gospel message is expressed as a command because Jesus deserves to be exalted and obeyed by all mankind. He fulfilled his Father's will perfectly, and on the cross paid the penalty for sin. He then proved his power over death by his resurrection. For his obedience and work of salvation, God the Father has exalted Jesus Christ and given him a Name which is above all names.(Philippians 2:5-11)
The second point -- loving others -- is not a requirement for salvation, but rather the result of salvation. God's love is in our hearts, and we extend it to others. God loves us so much that he gave his Son, Jesus Christ, as our Savior. (John 3:16) It was not nails that kept Christ on the cross, it was love. This kind of overwhelming love is within every child of God. Love for others is part of the new nature the Holy Spirit puts within us when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. (Galatians 5:22) Jesus himself taught that love for others is the identifying mark of a believer. (John 13:35)
Don't believe anything that adds to God's plan of salvation. The Gospel message is to believe in Christ, and to love others. Response and result - its as simple as that.
