The Gospel (literally “Good News”) is God’s proclamation of His total, undeserved, unrepayable, one-way grace and forgiveness of all our sin, together with our redemption and adoption as His children, all because of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us on the Cross and through His Resurrection.
In the Gospel, we come face to face with the tough truth that our sin is so great that the Son of God had to die for us, but the heartbreakingly beautiful truth that God’s love for us is even greater in that He wanted to die for us.
The Gospel means that, in and because of Jesus Christ and His Cross, there is nothing we need ever do to make God love us more, and there is nothing we could ever do to make God love us less. In the Gospel, we are set free to live lives of humble, joyful gratitude, grounded in the knowledge of God’s unfathomable love for us in Christ.
