Can You Explain the Gospel in 3 Words?

Tweet Share

Today I have a piece being featured by The Gospel Coalition in which I offer my answer to a challenge I recently saw posted on social media about explaining the gospel using only three words.

Here’s an excerpt:

Could you explain the gospel to an unbeliever using only three words?

That was the challenge someone posted a couple of weeks ago on social media. “One can’t explain the whole gospel in only three words,” I mumbled to myself. “That’s why we have a canon of 66 books.” The more I thought about it, though, the more my mind changed, and I became open to taking up the challenge.

I think I could explain the gospel in three words, so long as I would have follow-up time to explain all three words. And those words would be “Lord Jesus Christ.”

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
