The Gospel is the good news that sounds too good to be true, but is true! Even though we are more sinful and rebellious than we can know, God’s love is so great that Jesus lived perfectly for us and the paid the penalty for us by dying in our place. All we need to do is turn away from our sins (this is called repentance) and turn towards God by accepting this gift with a believing heart. (See Romans 1:16-17; 1 John 1:5-10)
Many people, and all religions besides Christianity, believe that the way to salvation and Heaven is to earn God’s favor through good works. The Gospel of Jesus Christ says otherwise – that if we try to earn our standing with God, we are rejecting His gift of rescuing us from ourselves. Christians are those who trust in what Jesus has done, not in what we do.
The Gospel says that we are so sinful that we cannot save ourselves, and that God’s love is so great that He is eager to rescue us from ourselves, from our sin, and from this wicked, broken world. One writer has said “The Gospel is that I am so sinful that Jesus had to die for me, yet so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. I can’t fell superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone.”
