The Basic Gospel

In my post last week, I referenced the concept of the Gospel, which is the foundation of a Christian worldview. In brief, I would like to give an outline of the Gospel, with supporting Bible verses in parentheses.
1. We are all sinners. (Romans 3:23)
2. Our sins bring us under God's righteous judgment and separate us from God. (Romans 2:12)
3. The penalty for our sins is eternal death. (Romans 6:23)
4. Jesus Christ died on the cross to be a perfect sacrifice for our sins. (Romans 8:3,4)
5. Through faith in His work on the cross, we can be forgiven our sins and have our relationship with God restored. (Romans 6:23)
