The gospel

What is the Gospel?

The gospel is the good news of how God made a way for us to have a relationship with Him.

God

The Bible says that God is holy. That means He is perfect. He cannot sin, nor can anything sinful be near Him.

God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5

Man

The Bible says that man is not holy, but completely sinful. You have lied, you have lusted, you have sinned.
We all have sinned.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23

Dilemma

Our sin separates us from God in this life and the next. We will spend eternity separated from God in hell
because of our sin.

in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God
and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. 
They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, 
away from the presence of of the Lord and from the glory of His might.
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9

Solution

God passionately loves us. He made a way for us to be reconciled through His Son. Jesus was
born, lived without sin, but died for our sins, taking the punishment we deserve. He was raised
from the dead three days later. Jesus is the way.

The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

Response

Pray to God and tell Him you need a savior. Tell Him you know you have sinned against Him and want to turn
from your sin in order to trust Jesus for your salvation. Then, follow Jesus for the rest of your life.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
