What is the Good News?

The central message of the Bible is this: 
That humans have committed cosmic treason against God, and their sins are red as crimson, in thought, motive, and deed, but God the Father in his great mercy, wishing not that any should perish, sent his Son into history as the man Jesus Christ, and carried out God's moral laws perfectly. He was betrayed and killed so that by his death, all of our sins would be transferred to him, and all of his righteousness would come to us. And God the Father showed Christ's righteousness and his miraculous power when he resurrected Him from the dead. He now offers his righteousness to all who would place their faith in Him! A narrow door, a window of light in a world of darkness, an access-way, a passage has opened for you! And many of you will say "I am righteous in my sight", but God says your righteousness is filthy menstrual rags. The human species has collectively and individually broken all the moral laws that God had put in there consciences, they could be left to condemnation, and all would die and perish, sentenced to eternal torment.  But God is rich in mercy and close to the brokenhearted,  and if you feel the weight of your sins, holding you down, give them to Jesus, and receive eternal salvation of your soul. For what benefit is it for a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul!
