The Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ came to save sinners.
It is the story of God’s love, our rebellion, Christ’s sacrifice, and the free gift of salvation offered to all who believe.

What Is the Gospel?

The Gospel is the message that God created us, sin separated us, Jesus died and rose again for us, and salvation is offered freely to everyone who places their faith in Him.
It is the most important message in the world and is simple enough for a child, yet deep enough for a lifetime of study.

The Gospel

God created us in His image to reflect His goodness and love, but through pride and sin we turned from Him, breaking our relationship and bringing death. Because He is just, God could not ignore sin, yet because He is love, He came Himself in the person of Jesus Christ to bear our punishment and reconcile us to Him. Jesus lived the sinless life we couldn’t, died in our place on the cross, and rose from the dead to prove His victory over sin and death. Salvation is a free gift received by faith, trusting not in our works, but in Christ’s finished work, and that faith naturally produces a changed heart and life. Through this love we are made new, called to turn from darkness, and to live reflecting the selfless love of the God who first loved us.

  4. Explain the cross - Jesus died in our place.

  5. Explain the resurrection - Jesus conquered death.

  6. Call for response - Salvation is a gift received by faith.
