What Is
The Gospel
The gospel is the good news about what Jesus Christ has done to reconcile sinners to God.
What Is
God Is
Creator
The one and only God, who is holy, made us in his image to know him (Gen. 1:26-28)
"Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness."
Man is
Sinful
But we sinned and cut ourselves off from him (Gen. 3; Rom. 3:23).
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Salvation In
Christ
In his great love, God sent His Son Jesus to come to save his people from their own sin and the holy wrath of God (Ps. 2; Luke 1:67-79).
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me."
The Righteous
Sacrifice
By acting as both a mediating priest and a priestly sacrifice – Jesus lived a perfect and a righteous life and died on the cross, thus fulfilling the law himself and taking on himself the punishment for the sins of many then he rose again from the dead, showing that God accepted his sacrifice and that God’s wrath against us had been satisfied (Mark 10:45; John 1:14; Heb 7:26; Rom. 3:21-26, 5:12-21; Acts 2:24, Rom. 4:25).
Our
Response
He now calls us to repent of our sins and trust in Christ alone for forgiveness. If we repent of our sins and trust in Christ, we are born again into a new life, an eternal life with God (Acts 17:30, John 1:12, John 3:16).
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name."
