Good News (The GOSPEL)

“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” ― Timothy Keller
“A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.” -Andrew Murray
Remember, this repentance, this willing submission to humiliation and a kind of death, is not something God demands of you before He will take you back and which He could let you off of if He chose: it is simply a description of what going back to Him is like. If you ask God to take you back without it, you are really asking Him to let you go back without going back. It cannot happen.  -CS Lewis
Knowledge without repentance will be but a torch to light men to hell.  -Thomas Watson
While the resurrection promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present life. -Josh McDowell
The greatest negative in the universe is the Cross, for with it God wiped out everything that was not of Himself: the greatest positive in the universe is the resurrection, for through it God brought into being all” -Watchman Nee
Christ is the Son of God who died for the redemption of sinners and resurrected after three days. This is the greatest truth in the universe. I die because of my belief in Christ. -Watchman Nee
Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life. -Ravi Zacharias
“Let us be confident, Christian brethren, that our power does not lie in the manger at Bethlehem nor in the relics of the cross.  True spiritual power resides in the victory of the mighty, resurrected Lord of glory, who could pronounce after spoiling death: ‘All power is given me in heaven and in earth.’  The power of the Christian believer lies in the Savior’s triumph of eternal glory!” AW Tozer
Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection” -Watchman Nee
 “The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don’t worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry…He’s risen!” –Chuck Swindoll
“The Bible says he was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it. This means that what the death of Christ accomplished was so full and so prefect that the resurrection was the reward and vindication of Christ’s achievement in death.”-John Piper

“We live and die; Christ died and lived!”-John Stott
