What is the Gospel?

Good news! You can be saved from your sin and its ultimate penalty!

The word "gospel" simply means "good news," and that's exactly what it is. If you understand and believe it, the gospel is the best news that you will ever hear! It is this good news that gives you the ability to find, to know, and to love God, not to mention escaping your bondage to sin, and the ultimate penalty of that sin: eternal death and separation from God.

The following are the essential points of this "Good News" that God graciously gives us in the Bible:

God created and owns everything, including you. – Genesis 1:1, Psalm 24:1
God is perfectly holy. – Matthew 5:48
God requires your perfect obedience to His law. – James 2:10
You have broken God’s law. – Romans 3:10; 23
You will pay the eternal penalty for your sin. – Romans 6:23
You cannot save yourself by your good works. – Titus 3:5
Christ came to earth as both God and sinless man. – Colossians 2:9
Christ demonstrated His love by dying on the cross to pay sin’s penalty. – Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21
Christ rose from the grave and is alive today. – 1 Corinthians 15:4
You must repent of all that dishonors God. – Isaiah 55:7; Luke 9:23
You must believe in Christ as Lord and Savior, and be willing to follow after Him. - Romans 10:9

We welcome you to call our office for more information, and to speak with someone about additional questions you may have.

1 John 5:14-21

14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. (ESV)
