The gospel

Christ died at the cross to provide redemption for all. He died to reconcile God to all. He died for the sins of all, taking all their sins on the cross, such that God forgive the sins of all those He died for. He became Mediator between God and all. He was atoning sacrifice for all. He gave His life because of God's love for all and His desire to save all.Forgiveness of sins on that basis is thus to be preached to all. We can say to the lost, "your sins are forgiven."They need to hear that for them to have faith in the message that is preached to them: Christ died for your sins, too. You are forgiven. God loves you. He is not angry with you, but He is lovingly asking you to come to faith and repentance. He is reconciled to you. Be reconciled to Him, that you may by faith, receive what Christ has earned for you at the cross- forgiveness of sins, justification, and eternal life. He has merited satisfaction for your sins. Receive Him this day, to know that you may receive justification by faith alone in Christ- that justification that Christ provided for you at the cross. And that you may receive forgiveness of sins that have been obtained for you. Believe in Him who died for you, that you may have eternal life.Amen.

On our end, we need to be reconciled to God. Whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. There is no condemnation that is in Jesus Christ.

We need to receive by faith what He had done for us. We cannot do anything in of ourselves to earn God's forgiveness. It is already been provided for us at the cross.
