What is the gospel?

The gospel is not good advice about how to improve your life. It is good news about what God has done through His Son, Jesus Christ, to save sinners.

Every person stands guilty before a holy God. Our sin separates us from Him, and no amount of good works, religion, sincerity, or personal effort can make us right with God.

But God, in mercy, sent His Son.

Jesus Christ lived the perfect life we have failed to live. He died on the cross for sinners, bearing the punishment we deserve. He was buried, and on the third day He rose again from the dead. His resurrection declares that the payment was accepted, death was defeated, and salvation is found in Him alone.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a short, clear booklet that explains the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection and calls every reader to repent, believe the gospel, confess Jesus as Lord, and trust in Him alone for salvation.
