The Gospel

What Is the Good News?

The gospel is the most important story ever told. Here it is in three parts.

01

The Problem: Sin

Without Jesus, we are stuck in our sin. Despite our efforts to be good — attending church, doing good deeds, reading the Bible — we still fall short of God's righteous standard. The hard truth is that "the wages of sin is death."

Romans 3:23 · Romans 6:23

02

The Solution: Jesus

God so loved the world that He sent His only Son to remove the barrier of sin. Jesus died on the cross, where God placed all of humanity's sins on Him as our substitute. But He didn't stay dead. On the third day, He rose from the grave — offering life and forgiveness to all who believe.

Jesus came not to make bad people good, but to bring dead people to life.

John 3:16 · 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

03

The Promise: Purpose

If you feel a restlessness, an ache you can't shake — there's a reason. You were designed for a person and a place. That person is Jesus, and that place is heaven. As you get to know God through Jesus, you'll be transformed and given purpose for the journey ahead.

Revelation 21:4 · John 10:10

How to Receive Jesus

The Bible teaches that by confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

1
Acknowledge Your Condition "God, I recognize that I am a sinner and that my sin separates me from you."
2
Declare Your Belief "I believe in Jesus Christ, that He died on the cross for my sins, rose from the dead, and reconciles me to you."
3
Make Your Commitment "I choose to follow you, God, and to live according to your will."
4
Surrender Your Life "I give you my life starting today. Please guide me and lead me."
5
Ask for the Holy Spirit "Fill me with your Holy Spirit, and grant me your power, grace, and strength to live faithfully."

"When you express to God your faith in Jesus, sincerely meaning it, you are forgiven and you become part of His family. You may not feel any different — yet the gospel rests on truth, not emotions."

Romans 10:9
