The Gospel

One

God Is Holy

God is absolutely and perfectly holy; therefore He cannot commit or approve of evil. As Sovereign Creator, He made everything and rules everything — and He requires holiness of us as well.

“You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Two

We Are Sinners

According to Scripture, everyone is guilty of sin: “there is no man who does not sin.” That doesn’t mean we’re incapable of human kindness — but we are utterly incapable of understanding, loving, or pleasing God on our own.

Three

We Cannot Save Ourselves

God’s holiness and justice demand that all sin be punished by eternal death. That is why simply changing our patterns of behavior can never solve our sin problem or erase its consequences. The debt is real, and it is past our power to pay.

One

Christ’s Perfect Life

God’s holiness demands a righteousness we do not have. So Christ lived the flawless, obedient life we failed to live — satisfying the very holiness that condemned us, on our behalf.

Two

His Substitutionary Death

Though God’s justice demands death for sin, His love provided a Savior who paid the penalty and died in the place of sinners. Christ’s death satisfied the demands of God’s justice — the debt we could not pay, paid in full.

Three

His Bodily Resurrection

On the third day He rose — not as a symbol, but in the flesh. The resurrection is the Father’s public verdict that the price was accepted, death is defeated, and all who are united to Christ will share His risen life.

One

Repentance and Faith

“If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.”

True faith is always accompanied by repentance — agreeing with God that you are sinful, confessing your sin, and making a conscious choice to turn from it, pursue Christ, and obey Him. It isn’t enough to believe facts about Christ; even the demons believe. True saving faith always responds in obedience.

Two

Grace Alone, Through Faith Alone

This salvation is not a wage we earn but a gift we receive. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone — so that no one may boast. The response is real, but the rescue is entirely His.
