WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?
God God is the Creator of all things. He is perfectly wise, loving, and powerful. He is holy, worthy of all worship, and will punish sin (Gen. 1:1, 1 John 1:5, Rev. 4:11, Rom. 2:5-8). Man Although God created us good, all people have become sinful by nature because of the Fall. From birth, all people are alienated from God, hostile to God, and deserving of God's wrath (Gen. 1:26-28, Ps. 51:5, Rom. 3:23, Eph. 2:1-3). Christ Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to bear God’s wrath in the place of all who would believe in him, and rose from the dead in order to give his people eternal life (John 1:1, 1 Tim. 2:5, Heb. 7:26, Rom. 3:21-26, 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 Cor. 15:20-22). Response God calls everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and trust Christ to be their God and Savior (Mark 1:15, Acts 20:21, Rom. 10:9-10). |
