The "Good News" is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Otherwise called the GOSPEL

Because Jesus Christ conquered death, we don't need to fear death if we have a personal relationship with HIm.

Christ came to this earth to die in place of our sins, and we can have a personal relationship with Him.

1.  Realize that you have sinned.

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.” 
Romans 3:10

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23

2.  Realize that there is a price on sin.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  
Romans  6:23

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” 
Revelation 20:14,15 

3.  Jesus Christ paid the price.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 
Romans 5:8

4.  Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in  thine  heart that God  hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with  the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ...  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the  Lord shall be saved.” 
Romans 10:9,10,13

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast”
