3 Circles Gospel Presentation: Part 1 

I love that you go through a popular tool but then provide Scripture to go with each part in the second video. Not many 3-circles videos do that. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing!! It is a great tool! However, I would say that 'following Jesus' comes áfter the third (Jesus) circle, not before. Before we are saved, we lack the ability to follow Jesus, because all we have is our own broken lives. We first need to be born again, born of the Spirit, born from above, new life! In order to be saved and receive this new life, we only need to see and believe that what JESUS has done was enough and that there is NOTHING WE can do to deserve it or earn it! It is HIS perfect obedience, HIS death and resurrection that has saved us. OUR part is to simply TRUST in that fact. When we see this truth - the Good News that we don't have to shape up first to come to Him, but that He will accept us in the midst of our brokenness - we will gladly turn to Him. BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, (not in your own efforts to prove that you are worthy) and you will be saved (Acts 16:31). After we have been saved (after the 3rd circle), it is thén that our journey with Jesus starts. It is the Spirit, Who now lives in us, that will make it possible to follow Him and it is the Spirit Who will transform us step by step. As we surrender and follow, we grow. Phil 2:13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose. So, yeah, that is what I would adjust in using this tool.

The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
