The Gospel of Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ

God, YHWH, is eternal and self-existent, the source and Creator of all that is. By His word all things came into being, visible and invisible, ordered, purposeful, and good Genesis 1:1–3, Psalm 33:6, John 1:3. Humanity was formed in His image, male and female, bearing His likeness, created to walk with Him in trust and obedience Genesis 1:26–27, Genesis 2:7. God breathed into man the breath of life, and man became a living being, a nephesh (ne-fesh, living soul, life of a being) Genesis 2:7.

Yet mankind chose rebellion. Trust was replaced with independence. The command was broken, and sin entered the world. The Hebrew word ḥaṭṭā’ṯ (khat-ta’ath, sin, missing the mark) brought corruption and death Genesis 3:6–7, Romans 5:12. Death spread to all because all have sinned. This death was not merely physical, but spiritual separation from God Isaiah 59:2. Scripture declares there is none righteous, no, not one Psalm 14:3, Romans 3:10, and all have fallen short of the glory of God Romans 3:23.

God is holy and just. Sin cannot be ignored Habakkuk 1:13. Yet God is merciful and faithful, displaying His covenant love, ḥesed (khe-sed, steadfast lovingkindness) Exodus 34:6–7. From the beginning, God promised redemption. The seed of the woman would crush the serpent’s head Genesis 3:15. Through Abraham, all nations would be blessed Genesis 12:3. Through Moses, blood was given for atonement Leviticus 17:11. Through the prophets, a suffering Servant was foretold Isaiah 53:3–12.

That promise was fulfilled in Yeshua HaMashiach.

His name Yēshua (ye-shoo-ah, YHWH saves) reveals His purpose, and Mashiach (ma-shee-akh, Anointed One) identifies Him as God’s chosen King and Redeemer Matthew 1:21, Daniel 9:25. He is the eternal Word, the Logos (lo-gos, Word, divine self-expression of God) John 1:1. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, tabernacling among men John 1:14. Born of a virgin, conceived by the power of God, He fulfilled prophecy Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:35. Fully God and fully man, He lived without sin Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22.

Yeshua proclaimed the Kingdom of God Mark 1:14–15. He taught with authority, not as the scribes Matthew 7:28–29. He healed the sick Matthew 8:16–17, cleansed lepers Luke 17:14, opened blind eyes John 9:35–38, cast out demons Luke 4:41, forgave sins Mark 2:5–7, and raised the dead John 11:43–44. These were signs, sēmeion (say-mi-on, sign, evidence of divine power) revealing who He is John 20:30–31.

Yet His mission was not earthly power but eternal redemption. He willingly went to the cross John 10:17–18. He was betrayed, mocked, beaten, and crucified. On the cross, He bore the sin of the world. The Greek word hamartia (ha-mar-tee-ah, sin, missing the mark) was laid upon Him who knew no sin 2 Corinthians 5:21. He became the sacrificial Lamb, amnos (am-nos, Lamb of God) John 1:29. His blood established a new covenant Luke 22:20, fulfilling atonement, kippūr (kip-poor, covering, reconciliation) Hebrews 9:12.

Yeshua truly died. His body was laid in the tomb Matthew 27:59–60. Death seemed final. But on the third day, God raised Him from the dead. The Greek word anastasis (a-na-sta-sis, resurrection, standing up again) speaks of a bodily rising Matthew 28:5–6, Acts 2:24. He appeared alive to many witnesses 1 Corinthians 15:5–8, proving that death had been defeated Revelation 1:18.

He ascended to the Father and now reigns as Lord Acts 1:9–11, seated at the right hand of God Psalm 110:1, Hebrews 1:3. God exalted Him and gave Him the name above every name Philippians 2:9–11. He is mediator between God and man 1 Timothy 2:5, High Priest forever Hebrews 7:25. He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead and restore all things Acts 17:31, Revelation 19:11–16.

The Gospel demands a response. Repentance is commanded. The Greek word metanoia (me-ta-noi-ah, repentance, change of mind and direction) calls one to turn from sin toward God Acts 3:19, Luke 13:3. Faith is required. The Greek word pistis (pis-tis, faith, trust, reliance) means resting fully in Messiah’s work John 6:29, Ephesians 2:8–9. Salvation is the gift of grace, charis (kha-rees, grace, unearned favor) Romans 6:23, not by works so no one may boast Titus 3:5.

Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved Joel 2:32, Romans 10:9–13. Those who believe are justified Romans 5:1, forgiven Colossians 2:13, and made new 2 Corinthians 5:17. God gives a new heart, lēv (lev, inner man, heart) Ezekiel 36:26, and places His Spirit within. The Holy Spirit, Ruach HaQodesh (roo-akh ha-ko-desh, Holy Spirit), seals believers Ephesians 1:13–14, teaches truth John 16:13, empowers obedience Romans 8:11, and produces fruit Galatians 5:22–23.

This Gospel is not behavior modification. It is new birth John 3:3–7. It is not religion. It is reconciliation Romans 5:10. To reject the Son is to remain in death John 3:36. To receive the Son is to receive eternal life 1 John 5:11–12. Messiah declared, “It is finished,” John 19:30, and the empty tomb stands as God’s witness that redemption is complete.

This is the Gospel of Yeshua HaMashiach.
God with us Matthew 1:23.
God for us Romans 8:31.
God saving us, to the uttermost Hebrews 7:25.
