What is the Gospel?
Good news! You can be saved from your sin and its ultimate penalty! The word “gospel” simply means “good news,” and that’s exactly what it is. If you understand and believe it, the gospel is the best news that you will ever hear! It is this good news that gives you the ability to find, to know, and to love God, not to mention escaping your bondage to sin, and the ultimate penalty of that sin: eternal death and separation from God. The following are the essential points of this good news that God graciously gives us in the Bible.
Christ’s mysterious entry into this world, His gruesome crucifixion, and His surprising resurrection leave us all in a position of response to Him. Either we deny that Jesus came or we believe and trust in Him.
Either we look away from His death or we look on it in repentance. Either we reject the belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead or we subscribe to it. These events are not value-neutral. Neither is our response to them.
To aid you in your consideration of the gospel, we offer a link to a multimedia presentation of this message from Matthias Media entitled “Two Ways to Live”. It is our hope that this presentation answers your questions about God and His claim on your life. Are you a repentant believer in Jesus? Or are you a dispassionate witness to a crime your own sin helped commit? Remember, your soul will live forever. Are you ready for eternity?
