We commemorate Easter by remembering the blood-atoning death of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins, his burial and his resurrection on the third day.
In our day, as in the days of Paul the apostle to the Gentiles, "the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
Paul said, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Paul said, "Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel." Paul called the gospel "the gospel of your salvation" and in another place, he said "by which also ye are saved." Jesus Christ "abolished death and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
What is the gospel? The gospel is "that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." That's what it took to save your soul.
"All have sinned."
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
