TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

When we share the good news of Jesus Christ, we speak it, sing it, and live it out, but reducing the gospel to a single point leaves out something important. Many people summarise the Gospel simply as “Jesus died for our sins,” and while that is true, Paul was clear in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 that the full gospel includes three connected truths: Christ died for our sins, he was buried, and he rose again on the third day, all in keeping with what the scriptures had promised.

The empty tomb is not a detail we can set aside. Our rescue from sin does not stop at the cross. We are also saved by his resurrection. Without the risen Lord, the story is unfinished. The good news of Jesus Christ is whole only when all three parts are held together, and that is the message we are called to carry into the world.

For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
