Doulos of Yeshua
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. ... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-3, 14 ESV)
Doulos: (do-loss) is a Greek word meaning "slave."

What is the gospel? (Good news)
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4 LSB)
Salvation by and through Christ, is A GIFT that cleanses a person from their sin.
Salvation is IMPOSSIBLE to earn.
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." And they were even more astonished, saying to Him, "Then who can be saved?" Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." (Mark 10:25-27 LSB)
Sin = any act, thought, or attitude that’s contrary to Gods morality or perfect law.
ANYBODY who sins deserves to die.
“The soul who sins will die…” (Ezekiel 18:20 LSB)
"... There is none who does good." (Psalm 14:1 NKJV)
"...THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;" (Romans 3:10 NASB95)
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23 LSB)
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 LSB)
It’s clear that EVERYBODY sins and is a sinner.
"For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment... our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away." (Isaiah 64:6 LSB)
"... the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." (Galatians 3:22 LSB)
It’s vital to know that ALL are intrinsically BORN into sin.
“I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.” (Psalm 51:5 LSB)
Adam sinned in the garden, therefore that corrupt nature bled into ALL humanity.
“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:22 LSB)
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned... For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Romans 5:12, 19 KJV)
By putting these Scriptural references together,
EVERYBODY'S reality is one of COMPLETE inadequacy and unworthiness.
EVERYBODY is deserving of death, and we ALL deserve eternal punishment.
Thanks be to God for granting a way of redemption!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." (John 3:16-18 ESV)
"... God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8 ESV)
"He [God] made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin [to be] sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB95)
Christ predestined His own to salvation!

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love, by predestining us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our transgressions, according to the riches of His grace ... In Him, we also have been made an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will" (Ephesians 1:4-7, 11 LSB)
"... as many as were appointed to eternal life believed." (Acts 13:48 ESV)
We could NEVER earn this salvation.

"... grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift." (Ephesians 4:7 ESV)

And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified." (Romans 8:29-30 ESV)
Those who believe in Christ are now BORN AGAIN!
"... "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."" (John 3:3 NKJV)
Those born again can NEVER LOSE their salvation!
"[For I am] confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:6 LSB)

(Ephesians 1:13, 14 LSB)
"This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing..." (John 6:39 NKJV)
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish--ever; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one." (John 10:27-30 LSB)
