Good News Today

"Now the gospel (which means “good news”) is truly Good News. It announces that what God rightly requires of us has already been done. Jesus has done it all. Indeed, he himself said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). Narrowly construed, good news is that Jesus is the righteous one. We become righteous not through our doing or obeying but only by trusting, resting in, and receiving Jesus and his righteousness for us (Titus 2:14). “Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him as righteousness” (Gen 15:6). “The righteous shall live by faith” (Rom 1). The good news is an announcement of what God has done in Christ, that salvation has come, that death has been conquered, that Jesus kept the law, that he paid the penalty, that he has been raised from the dead, and that he is ascended at the right hand of the Father where he reigns. That’s good news. "
R. Scott Clark
