Gospel is just another term for Good News. And the Gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t just good news… it’s the very best news ever.

But the best way to understand the Gospel of Jesus is to understand what happened before the good news.

THE BEGINNING

God created everything that exists—every grain of sand underneath us and every giant star beyond us. He created people, too, and He created us with a very specific & simple purpose: to joyfully glorify Him.

Everything was good, peaceful & beautiful.

“…bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” -Isaiah 43:6-7

THE BAD NEWS

But we decided that we wanted to do things our own way, and we became rebellious against God & his commands. We’ve all chosen to worship something, but it’s not God.

This is called sin, and it turned good to bad, peace to war, and beauty to ugliness.

God is, by nature, infinite. So our rebellion against Him is a big problem—an infinite problem, to be exact.

And people just aren’t powerful enough to reverse infinite damages, so there’s absolutely nothing we can do to make up for sin. Since God is infinitely just, there must be punishment for sin.

Breaking your parents’ rules gets you grounded. Breaking a federal law gets you jail time. But breaking God’s commands merits the very worst: eternal spiritual separation from Him in hell.

“…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” -Romans 3:23

“They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might…” -2 Thessalonians 1:9

WHAT NOW?

How could this good news get any better? It’s the greatest gift ever given, and it’s yours. Free.

So what are you waiting for?

Maybe this all sounds too far-fetched for you to believe. Maybe you like your life as it is & don’t want God changing it. Maybe you feel like you’re so sinful or insignificant that God couldn’t possibly love you.

Or maybe this really does sound like good news to you, and you want to experience this love.

Whoever you are, and however you feel about the Gospel, we want to hear from you.
