The Gospel

The Gospel is the joyous declaration that God is redeeming the world through Christ and that He calls everyone everywhere to repent from sin and trust Jesus Christ for salvation.

Each of us has sinned against God, breaking his law and rebelling against His rule, and the penalty for our sin is death and hell.

But because of His love, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live, for His people's sake, the perfect, obedient life God requires, and to die on the Cross in our place for our sin.

On the third day, Christ rose bodily from the grave and now reigns in heaven, offering forgiveness, righteousness, resurrection, and eternal blessedness in God's presence to everyone who repents of sin and trusts solely in Him for salvation.
