The Gospel
God has granted us a history and a future, created in His image, we are unlike any living thing on earth. Given free will and conscience, you can search out God and His good and perfect plan for your life, or deny His sovereignty and reject the provision He has made to reconcile your soul to Him in the sacrifice of His son, face judgment and an eternal hell.
The good news is, so great is God’s love for us, and His desire that we return to Him from our inherited and chosen state of sinfulness that He willingly sent His only son, perfect and sinless, to shame, torture and death on the cross to pay the price for our disobedience and so make a way home for us. We are all imperfect because of sin, so we judge ourselves by imperfect standards to be good. We also compare ourselves to other people who are in no better shape than ourselves, giving us a false sense of security about the state of our souls.
So God offers a plan for your soul, free of charge, a treasure greater than any thing of value on earth! By His grace alone He calls us to faith in Jesus as the Savior of our souls, that if we believe He is the Son of God, that He died for our sins on the cross in our place, was buried and in three days rose alive in a real and glorified body, then ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father until the day of His return, we will be saved from God’s righteous judgment on us for our sins!
Understand that no matter how good we try to be, no one is worthy of Salvation. This is why we can only be saved by faith in Christ, given by the grace of God. It makes no difference where we come from, our ethnicity or social class. No matter what we have done, how depraved our thoughts or actions, the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross is sufficient to overcome all our sins, past, present, and future. By His shed blood, Christ’s righteousness covers those who believe in Him, and presents us clean of the stain of sin before God the Father.
