The Good News
The Gospel
The good news of Jesus Christ is the foundation of everything we believe and everything we do.
God Is Sovereign Creator
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He is the sovereign Creator of all things, sustaining all of creation by His power. Everything exists by His will and for His glory. He made humanity in His own image, designed to live in perfect relationship with Him.
God Is Holy
God is infinitely holy, righteous, and just. His character is the standard of all that is good and true. He is perfect in all His ways, and His holiness demands that sin be judged. He cannot overlook or ignore sin, for it is contrary to His very nature.
Mankind Is Sinful
All of humanity has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Through Adam, sin entered the world, and with it death and separation from God. Every person is born with a sinful nature and is unable to save themselves. We are all guilty before a holy God.
Sin Demands a Penalty
Because God is just, sin must be punished. The wages of sin is death — both physical and spiritual. The penalty for sin is eternal separation from God. No amount of good works or religious effort can make us right before Him. We are helpless to pay our debt.
Jesus Is Lord and Savior
But God, in His great love, sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to live a sinless life and die on the cross as a substitute for sinners. Jesus bore the full penalty of our sin, satisfying God’s justice. On the third day, He rose from the dead, conquering sin and death forever. He is Lord and Savior of all who believe.
The Character of Saving Faith
Saving faith is a gift of God. It involves repentance — turning away from sin — and trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. True faith produces a transformed life, marked by love for God, obedience to His Word, and a desire to follow Him. Those who believe are forgiven, justified, and adopted into God’s family forever.
