#1 The
Gospel
and
the
Old
Testament
The
coming
of
Jesus
was
planned
by
God
and
already
predicted
in
all
through
the
Old
Testament.
“The
Gospel
he
promised
beforehand
through
his
prophets
in
the
Holy
Scriptures”
(Rom
1:2)
“You
study
the
Scriptures
diligently
because
you
think
that
in
them
you
have
eternal
life.
These
are
the
very
Scriptures
that
testify
about
me”
(Jn
5:39)
“And
beginning
with
Moses
and
all
the
Prophets,
he(Jesus)
explained
to
them
what
was
said
in
all
the
Scriptures
concerning
himself”
(Luke
24:27)

#2 The
primitive
Gospel
Right
after
Adam
and
Eve
rebelled
against
God,
he
planned
to
send
his
son,
Jesus
Christ
“And
I
will
put
enmity
between
you
and
the
woman,
and
between
your
offspring
and
hers;
he
will
crush
your
head,
and
you
will
strike
his
heel.”
(Gen
3:15)

#3 Spread
of
Sin
“The
LORD
saw
how
great
the
wickedness
of
the
human
race
had
become
on
the
earth,
and
that
every
inclination
of
the
thoughts
of
the
human
heart
was
only
evil
all
the
time.”
(Gen
6:5)
“God
saw
how
corrupt
the
earth
had
become,
for
i
all
the
people
on
earth
had
corrupted
their
ways.”

(Gen
6:12)

Something
was
needed
to
solve
the
problem
of
sin
before
Jesus
came
to
earth.

#4 Sacrifice
Law:
Leviticus
the
way
to
remove
sin
in
the
Old
Testament
was
to
place
our
sins
on
animals
and
to
kill
them.
That
was
the
only
way i
to
remove
our
sins

It
was
to
attribute
our
sins
onto
flawless
animals,
and
therefore
the
animals
had
to
die
because
of
the
sins
attributed
to
them.

#5 Sacrifice
and
Blood
Shedding
blood
played
an
important
role
when
it
comes
to
sacrifice
“For
the
life
of
a
creature
is
in
the
blood,
and
I
have
given
it
to
you
to
make
atonement
for
yourselves
on
the i
altar;
it
is
the
blood
that
makes
atonement
for
one’s
life”
(Lv
17:11)


“In
fact,
the
law
requires
that
nearly
everything
be
cleansed
with
blood,
and
without
the
shedding
of
blood
there
is
no
forgiveness.”
(Heb
9:22)

#6 Sacrifice
and
Jesus
Christ
Animal
sacrifice
couldn't
atone
for
human
beings
perfectly.
For
perfect
salvation,
we
needed
someone,
not
an
animal,
who
had
no
sin
“…But
he
has
appeared
once
for
all
at
the
culmination
of
the
ages
to
do
away
with
sin
by
the i
sacrifice
of
himself.
So
Christ
was
sacrificed
once
to
take
away
the
sins
of
many”
(Heb
9:26,28)


His
foremost
mission
was
to
bear
our
sins
and
to
die
for
us.
Jesus
came
to
take
away
the
sins
of
many
by
the
sacrifice
of
himself.

#7 Forgiveness
and
Faith
The
precious
blood
of
Jesus
can
work
in
us
only
when
we
believe
in
him.

“God
presented
Christ
as
a
sacrifice
of
atonement,
through
the
shedding
of i
his
blood
-
to
be
received
by
faith”
(Rom
3:25)

Without
faith,
there’s
no
forgiveness
of
sin.
“to
be
received
by
faith”
