The message of Jesus Christ; His becoming man to meet us on our own level, His Passion, death, and Resurrection; His Ascension into Heaven, the descent of the Holy Spirit, and the hope and promise of salvation for the Faithful.

That ok news...but not particularly GOOD news ... because all of that accomplished NOTHING for men, they still have to do EVERYTHING for themselves.. work work work..

"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which 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 according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Now THAT is good news

[MarkBsnr]

Who is Paul preaching to, and why?

Notice that Paul says that in order to be saved that they must hold fast the word which he preached unless they believed in vain. What does believing in vain mean to you?
