What Is the Gospel?

The gospel is the good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ to save sinners, forgive sin, defeat death, and bring us into new life with Him.

1. The Problem: Sin

All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Sin separates us from God and leaves us guilty before a holy Judge.

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

2. The Consequence: Death

The wages of sin is death. We are separated from God and cannot save ourselves by morality, religion, or effort.

Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death...”

3. The Solution: Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ lived the sinless life we could not live, died for sinners, and rose again in victory. The cross and resurrection stand at the center of the gospel.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

4. The Offer: Grace

We are saved by grace through faith. Salvation is God’s gift, not our achievement. We do not earn it. We receive it through Christ.

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith... it is the gift of God.”

5. The Response: Repent and Believe

Turn from sin and trust in Jesus Christ. The gospel calls us to repentance and faith, not merely admiration or religious interest.

Mark 1:15 “Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

6. The Result: New Life

In Christ, the believer is forgiven, reconciled to God, and made new. The old has gone. New life has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation...”
