Reasons for Faith in Reasonable Time.
Overview
This blog has been created to provide readers with quick and relevant biblical answers to curious questions about the Christian Faith.
Statement of Faith
Quick-answers aims to remain non-denominational in our approach to answering questions about the Christian faith. However, our core beliefs that form the basis for answering the questions align with the 5 Solas of the Reformation theology.
Our aim as we answer these questions is to be as Biblically based as possible and while at the same time highly focused on Christ and His finished work.
What is the Gospel?
This is the most crucial question on this site because it has eternal implications for those who receive it or reject it.
The message of the gospel is this.
The Son of God – Jesus Christ, stepped out from heaven and entered the world to dwell among us (John 1:14), to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10), and to “save His people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21).
He came “Not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mathew 20:28).
He came to offer His own perfect life as a sacrifice for undeserving sinners.
He achieved that by entering the world as a helpless infant, living a sinless life of perfect obedience under the rigorous demands of Moses’ law (Galatians 4:4) while still embodying all the perfections of His Divine holiness.
The scriptures reveal that even though He was subject to normal human vulnerabilities such as hunger, thirst, and weariness (Hebrews 4:15), He was triumphant in resisting every temptation common to us all (Hebrews 2:18).
But the greatest display of His unconditional love was made clear when He set aside His glory and humbled Himself, suffering the death of one of the most excruciating methods of capital punishment ever created in human history.
And as He promised, on the third day following His death, He rose from the dead, demonstrating His authority and power over life, death, and the forces of hell.
This is the gospel message that Jesus’ redemptive work of the cross will save all His people who have put their faith in Him and confessed Him as Lord.
On the cross, He bore our sin and suffered the punishment for the guilt that was due to us. Thus He atoned for our sins in full, covering them graciously with His own perfect righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) through which we can stand before God fully justified.
This is the heart of the Gospel message, the greatest story ever told. This is the story we are called to share with the world providing them with the most gracious invitation into eternal life that states, “Let him who is thirsty come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17).
My prayer is that God will open your eyes to see, your mind to understand, and your heart to fully embrace the truth of this Gospel message and its Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray that you will grow to know the living savior Himself intimately and receive His gift of eternal life.
