Are You Fishing For Eternal Souls?

First, Jesus' preaching called men and women to “believe in the gospel.” This was the good news that God's Kingdom was about to happen. They were to believe that Messiah who was promised had come. After the Cross the essential message would be, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). But we see that Jesus' original preaching contained the essence of what we call today gospel preaching. From God's Word we see that this is the way salvation is to be preached. We must be committed with all our hearts to preaching justification by faith alone.

Second, Jesus preached repentance. The Bible portrays a saving faith that is life changing faith, otherwise it is dead or non-saving faith. This element of the gospel has fallen on hard times.
