Gospel Outline
by Lindsay OlesbergBelow is a basic outline of the Gospel. It would be good to get to know this outline so that you can share with a seeker.
First Steps to God
God
• God loves you. (John 3:16)
• God is holy and just. He punishes all evil and expels it from His presence.
(Romans 1: 18)
Us
• God, who created everything, made us for Himself, to find our purpose
in fellowship with Him. (Colossians 1: 16)
• But we rebelled and turned away from God. (Isaiah 53:6)
• The result is separation from God. (Isaiah 59:2)
• The penalty is eternal death. (Romans 6:23)
Christ
• God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ to restore the broken
fellowship. (Colossians 1:19-20a)
• Christ lived a perfect life. (I Peter 2:22)
• Christ died as a substitute for us by paying the death penalty for our rebellion.
(Romans 5:8)
• He arose (I Corinthians 15:34) and is alive today to give us a new life of
fellowship with God, now and forever. (John 10: 10)
Response
• I must repent for my rebellion. (Matthew 4:17)
• I must believe Christ died to provide forgiveness and a new life of fellowship
with God. (John 1: 12)
• I must receive Christ as my Savior and Lord with the intent to obey Him. I
do this in prayer by inviting Him into my life. (Revelation 3:20)
