Bible references about god's news
Here are some Bible references that speak about God's news or gospel:
- Isaiah 52:7 - "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'"
- Isaiah 61:1-2 - "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."
- Luke 2:10-11 - "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'"
- Romans 1:1-3 - "Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who as to his divine nature was the Son of God, and who is the very image of God, the firstborn of all creation."
- Galatians 1:6-9 - "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! As we have already said, no one tells you what we have seen and heard except the Holy Spirit, and he has spoken only what he has received from God."
- 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - "Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, and that is not human effort but God's gift. Not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
- Ephesians 1:13-14 - "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory."
- Colossians 1:5-6 - "The faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and now being kept in heaven for you. I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me yet that I might be eager to preach the gospel to you who are still alive, so that I will not have boasted about you to these people after all, as I would have done if I had not been bold in preaching the gospel to you."
These references highlight the importance of the gospel message and God's desire to share it with humanity. They emphasize the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and the role of the Holy Spirit in proclaiming and applying this message to people's lives.
