Our God, our Savior...our Lord
The Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ who saves everyone who believes in Him as Savior and Lord. It is the central message of the Bible and it separates Christianity from every other religion and spiritual practice because it shows that we cannot do anything to save ourselves but only receive God’s grace through faith in Christ. This faith confesses that we are by nature evil and sinful, and in light of God’s Holiness, are deserving of His eternal condemnation; and only through what Christ has done for us through his life, death and resurrection, can we be saved. The Gospel is the only message of hope for a dying and sinful world, and the call is for all to receive this message.
