This is the Gospel. God's Good news for you!
God created man to honor, serve and fellowship with Him.
​
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4:11
​
Man chose to sin against God rather than serve Him.
​
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 (Sin is breaking God's law. 1 John 3:4)
​
When man chose to disobey God, the result was death.
Spiritual death separates a person from the life of God (Ephesians 2:1). Physical death separates a person's soul from his or her body (Hebrews 9:27). Eternal death separates a person, both soul and body, from God forever in Hell (Revelation 20:15).
​
Throughout history individuals have tried many ways to gain or earn eternal life. But, every attempt has been unsuccessful.
​
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
Jesus Christ, God's sinless Son, was sent by the Father to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross in our place!
​
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." 1 Peter 3:18a
​
How do we obtain so great a salvation? We must receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
​
"I am the way, the trugh and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." John 14:6
​
In order to receive Jesus as your Savior, you must repent of your sin and put your trust in Him alone as the only hope of eternal life.
​
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that you sins may be blotted out." Acts 3:19a
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31a
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
God's Promise is Eternal Life
​
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 5:24
