THE GOSPEL, SIMPLY EXPLAINED

GOD LOVES US—AND MADE A WAY TO SAVE US THROUGH JESUS.

God is both perfectly loving and perfectly just. Our sin separated us from Him and deserved judgement, but in love, God came to rescue us. Jesus willingly took our place, died for our sins and rose again so that everyone who trusts in Him can be forgiven, restored to God and given new life.

GOD MADE US TO KNOW HIM

God created us to know Him, live in relationship with Him and reflect His goodness. We were made for His presence—not to live apart from Him.

02 / 05

SIN SEPARATED US FROM GOD

All of us have rejected God’s way and chosen our own. The Bible calls this sin. Because God is perfectly good and just, sin cannot simply be ignored. Its consequence is separation from Him and death—and none of us can repair that separation by our own effort.

JESUS TOOK OUR PLACE

God loves us and did not abandon us. He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, who is fully God and fully human. Jesus lived without sin and willingly gave His life on the cross, taking the judgement our sin deserved so that we could be forgiven.

04 / 05

JESUS ROSE AGAIN

Jesus did not remain in the grave. God raised Him from the dead, defeating sin and death. Because Jesus lives, anyone who trusts in Him can be reconciled to God, made new and given eternal life.

THIS GIFT IS FOR YOU

God invites you to turn away from sin and trust in Jesus as Lord. Forgiveness and new life cannot be earned; they are God’s gift of grace. You can come to Him as you are and begin following Jesus.

WHY DID GOD GIVE HIS SON?

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

The cross shows both the seriousness of our sin and the depth of God’s love. Jesus was not an unwilling victim—He willingly laid down His life for us. At the cross, justice and mercy met: our sin was judged, and forgiveness was opened to us.

HOW DO I RESPOND?

TURN TO JESUS
AND TRUST HIM.

Following Jesus begins with repentance—turning away from sin and toward God—and faith: trusting that Jesus is Lord and that His death and resurrection are enough to save you.

COME HONESTLY

Speak to God honestly. Admit your sin, ask for His forgiveness and tell Him you want to trust and follow Jesus.

LEARN WHO JESUS IS
