Mankind has a Spirit, Soul, Mind and Body. God desires for the believer to be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this address, we see what the scripture teaches us about our spirit, soul, mind and body.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 “23 Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.24 He [is] faithful who calls you, who will also perform [it].”

Psalm 42:1-5 “42 As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “19 Do ye not know that your body is [the] temple of the Holy Spirit which [is] in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?20 for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.”

Colossians 3:1-2 “3 If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:2 have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;”

Romans 12:1-2 “12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

The Gospel is a message from God. Have you responded to this wonderful message of salvation? God desires for you to be saved and have peace with Him. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus came into the world, sent by God, to save sinners by going to Calvary’s cross.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Isaiah 1:18- “18 Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.19 If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;”

John 19:30-42 “30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.39 And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.41 But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.”

Luke 24:1-7 “24 But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.4 And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.5 And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.8 And they remembered his words;”

The Gospel message is God’s invitation to you. Through His wonderful grace, He has provided a Savior for sinners by sending His Son, Jesus Christ. Though our sins separate us from God, the Gospel brings the wonderful news that God has drawn near to us in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the greatest invitation you will ever receive—have you responded to it?

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 14:16-24 “16 And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.17 And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.18 And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.21 And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.22 And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.23 And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;24 for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.”

Mark 2:16-17 “16 And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why [is it] that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners?17 And Jesus having heard [it] says to them, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those who are ill. I have not come to call righteous [men], but sinners.”

2 Corinthians 8:9 “9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched.”

“The Gospel is good news from heaven. God desires for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Today, the Gospel is still preached because of God’s amazing love for you. The Bible tells us we are all like sheep; we have all gone astray, far from our holy creator God. But the good news in the Gospel is that God has provided a way of salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Proverbs 28:13 “13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall obtain mercy.”

Luke 18:9-14 “9 And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.11 The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.13 And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.14 I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.”

1 John 1:7-9 ” and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

When Jesus preached the Gospel, he spoke with authority. Many who heard him said, “No one ever spoke like this man!” In this Gospel preaching, you will learn about the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, who has the power to forgive sins and give you peace with God. Only Jesus has that authority. Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Over 2000 years ago, Jesus journeyed to Calvary’s cross, where he laid down his life for sinners and shed his blood to bring salvation to fallen mankind.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

John 19:10-16 “10 Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?11 Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.

12 From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.13 Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;14 (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!15 But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.”

Mark 1:21-27 “21 And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.22 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.23 And there was in their synagogue a man [possessed] by an unclean spirit, and he cried out24 saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.

25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him.26 And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.27 And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”

Acts 17:30-31 “30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,31 because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.”

Romans 5:7-10 “7 For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;8 but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.9 Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.”

In this gospel preaching, you will hear how God saved His people from slavery and delivered them out of the land of Egypt. In the well-known story of Moses, we can see a picture of God’s wonderful plan of salvation for us in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Exodus 3:1-8 “3 And Moses tended the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock behind the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God—to Horeb.

2 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush: and he looked, and behold, the thorn-bush burned with fire, and the thorn-bush was not being consumed.3 And Moses said, Let me now turn aside and see this great sight, why the thorn-bush is not burnt.4 And Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him out of the midst of the thorn-bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6 And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.7 And Jehovah said, I have seen assuredly the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and their cry have I heard on account of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and spacious land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey”

Exodus 3:13-14 “13 And Moses said to God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.”

Exodus 12:3-7 “3 Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father’s house, a lamb for a house.4 And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.6 And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.7 And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.”

Exodus 12:12-13 “12 And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.

13 And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

Exodus 14:26-31 “26 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.

28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them.

29 And the children of Israel walked on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.30 Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore.31 And Israel saw the great power [with] which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians; and the people feared Jehovah, and believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman.”

Exodus 35:20-22 “20 And all the assembly of the children of Israel departed from before Moses.21 And they came, every one whose heart moved him, and every one whose spirit prompted him; they brought Jehovah’s heave-offering for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.22 And they came, both men and women; every one who was of willing heart brought nose-rings, and earrings, and rings, and bracelets, all kinds of utensils of gold: every man that waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah.”

The Gospel message is about Jesus Christ. Many people think Jesus was just a good man in history, but He is so much more than that. The Bible tells us He is God’s only Son who was sent into this world to save sinners from their sins and bring peace with a holy God. In our sins, we find ourselves at a distance from our holy Creator, but God in His wonderful love has provided a way of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

John 1:1-18 “1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 *He* was in the beginning with God.3 All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.8 *He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.

9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh’s will, nor of man’s will, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared [him].”

John 1:29 “29 On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”

Hebrews 9:13-14 “13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer’s ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,14 how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living God?”

4 And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.7 If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Genesis 3:6-13 “6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.

9 And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?12 And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.13 And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Genesis 3:21-24 “21 And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.22 And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever …!

23 Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.24 And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.”

Luke 10:25-35 “25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?26 And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?27 But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.28 And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.

29 But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?30 And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into [the hands of] robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.31 And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;32 and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked [at him] and passed on on the opposite side.

33 But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion,34 and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him.35 And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, *I* will render to thee on my coming back.”

Luke 15:1-2 “And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;2 and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.”

Luke 15:20-24 “20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.”
