What Is the Gospel?

The gospel is the good news of God’s grace breaking into the darkness of our world. It tells the story of creation, the fall, redemption, and the final restoration—ordained by God and fulfilled through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ.

The cross is the center of the gospel. The resurrection is its power. The ascension is its glory.

Christ’s death is the sacrifice

It satisfies the demands of God’s holy justice and appeases His holy wrath. It also demonstrates His mysterious love and reveals His amazing grace. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. There is no other name by which men can be saved.

At the heart of all sound doctrine is the cross of Jesus Christ and the infinite privilege that redeemed sinners have in glorifying God because of what He has accomplished. Therefore, we want all that takes place in our hearts, churches, and ministries to proceed from and be related to the gospel.
