Gospel Key Verses (NIV)

A powerful set of verses to memorize and meditate on the Gospel.

The Gospel [1 Corinthians 15:3,4]

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures"

All Have Sinned [Romans 3:23] "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

The Wages of Sin [Romans 6:23a] "For the wages of sin is death."

Judgment [Hebrews 9:27]

"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment"

Inevitable Judgment [2 Corinthians 5:10]

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

Judgment Based on Purpose of Life [Romans 2:6-9]

"God 'will give to each person according to what he has done.' To those those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile"

The Second Death [Revelation 21:8]

"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

The Gift of God [Romans 6:23b]

"...but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The Promise of God [John 3:16]

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The Lamb of God [John 1:29]

"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"

The One Mediator [1 Tim 2:5]

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

The Way of Salvation [John 5:24]

"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

The Almighty Power of God [Acts 2:23-24]

"This man was handed over to you by God's deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."

The Living Hope: The Kingdom of God [1 Peter 1:3,4]

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you"
