1. God made a way out of our brokenness.
God promised that a man would “bruise” the enemy’s head (Genesis 3:15).
God sacrificed an animal—shed its blood—to make coverings for Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:21). This is the protoevangelium or “first gospel.”
God loves us and sent His one and only Son to shed His blood and cover sin once and for all (John 3:16, Hebrews 10:10-14).
2. The gospel is simply: Jesus died for our sins, was buried and God raised Him from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
Unpack the gospel and the importance of every aspect—death, burial and resurrection.
The gospel saves us from our sins (Romans 1:16).
3. We just have to repent and believe the gospel (Mark 1:15).
Repent means to change—to turn from our sins and turn to Jesus.
God doesn’t condemn us—we’re already condemned because of Genesis 3.
God wants to save us (John 3:17-21).
4. God helps us recover and pursue His design for our lives.
He removes the heart of stone and gives us a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).
His Spirit indwells and empowers us.
He restores us to the way we were supposed to be—He reconciles us—repairs what was broken (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
We are new creations.
Now we are God’s ambassadors to a broken world.
