A Telling of the Gospel by a Janitor
This video is a telling of the Gospel by me (Jerry B Nettrouer II)
Greetings my name is Jerry and I am a normal guy, I'm not a pastor, I'm not a preacher, I'm not a Bible teacher, or a theologian. I'm just a normal guy. A guy, who reads the Bible. I believe there is only one God, and that God created the Heavens and Earth, in six literal days, about 6000 years ago. [Exodus 20:11]
I believe, 'All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:' and being such, the Bible teaches, 'For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;' therefore being sinners we have all become worthy of eternal damnation, to the lake of fire. However; our Creator God, 'not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance', loving entered into human history, as the flesh and blood person known as Jesus Christ, to die for the sins that we have, we are, and that we will commit. 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.'
According to the Bible, Jesus lived a perfect, sinless [II Corinthians 5:21], example life for us, [I Corinthians 11:1] and was betrayed by one of His own disciples, over an argument of money. [John 12:4-6] When a women named Mary, poured expensive perfume on His head, and feet, and dried it with her hair. [John 12:3] After which, when Jesus was betrayed, he was crucified upon a cross, [John 19:19] for our sins, [II Corinthians 5:21] restoring our right relationship with God, [John 17:3] and , 'as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name', He therefore saved believers, from eternal damnation in the lake of fire which we all deserve. 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
Now the Bible further explains; that because death has no power over those without sin [Romans 6:23], Jesus having never committed a sin himself [Hebrews 4:15], rose again on the third day, in obedience to the command of God the Father [I Corinthians 15:4], then shortly after rose into heaven [Acts 1:9]. Then fulfilled His promise to send, 'the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.' [Acts 5:32], to teach us, to comfort us, and to aid us, in our relationship, together with God. [John 14:26]
Finally; being on this side of the matter, and having experienced the truth of it all, and having believed upon Jesus Christ myself, and having asked Him to be my God and Saviour, and knowing the truth, and the reality of the Bible, and of Jesus Christ. I ask that you the reader consider, Jesus Christ, and His gift of Salvation being offers to you today. ... Thank You
