The Gospel

Weโ€™ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Psalm 51:5Romans 3:23). Because God is Holy he must judge sin. The penalty of this sin is death and ultimately the Lake of fire (Romans 6:23Revelation 20:11-15). Thereโ€™s nothing we can do to save ourselves (Isaiah 64:6).

But God, in his love has provided a way to escape his wrath through Christ (John 3:16-18John 14:6). Jesus paid for our sin penalty by taking Godโ€™s wrath in our stead on the cross (Romans 5:8). He died for our sins, was buried, and rose again 3 days later (1 Corinthians 15:1-5).

You can accept this free gift of salvation by believing in Christ (Acts 16:30-31Romans 6:23Ephesians 2:8-9). Make sure youโ€™ve made the right decision about Jesus today (2 Corinthians 6:2)! It will be the most important decision of your life, for eternal life.
