WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?
The gospel is the extraordinary news that God is reconciling sinners to himself through the saving work of his Son, Jesus Christ. Left to ourselves, we all stand guilty before God, lost in sin, and destined for everlasting judgment. Yet, God has demonstrated his great love for the world by sending Jesus to the rescue! Jesus Christ lived a perfect human life, he died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, and he was raised back to life in victory over sin and death. He ascended into heaven where he reigns as Lord over all! Now, God is calling people everywhere to turn away from their sin in repentance and turn to Jesus in saving faith, receiving God’s gracious gift of everlasting life.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake God made Jesus to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
