What is the Gospel?
The word “Gospel” means “Good News” or “Good Message” and is the English translation of the Greek word “uaggelion” from which we get the words “Evangel,” “Evangelist,” and “Evangelism.”
God has chosen to use the word to describe the very best news ever given on earth, and that is the news of salvation and forgiveness through God’s Son, Jesus Christ.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel... By which...ye are saved...
how that Christ died for our sins...
And that He was buried,
and that He rose again the third day...
And that He was seen... ”
1 Corinthians 15:1-9
This is the “Good Message” that we desire to share!
God is Holy and demands absolute perfection.
"...Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:16
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5:48
All of us have broken God’s law. Breaking God’s law is called Sin. Therefore, we are all sinners.
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”
1 John 3:4
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God...”
Romans 3:23
Because we have sinned against God, we all deserve a punishment as a consequence for our sins.

Jesus died for us so that we could live forever!

Each of us must receive the gift of eternal life.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:”

Ask Jesus to be your Saviour right now!
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

We can trust Him to do what He promises to do!
Jesus said: “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
John 6:37
Jesus said: “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.”

We can have the assurance that we are indeed saved and will spend forever with Jesus!
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
I John 1:13
