The Good News in Plain Language

The word “Gospel” simply means Good News — and it really is. It’s the story of God reaching out to us, not us climbing up to Him. It’s about love that didn’t wait for perfection, forgiveness that can’t be earned, and a Savior who came not to condemn but to restore.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16

Why Jesus Came

Every person falls short of God’s perfection. Sin separates us from Him — but God never stopped loving us. Jesus stepped into our world to do what we couldn’t: live perfectly, love completely, and take the weight of our failures on Himself through the cross.

When He rose from the dead, He proved that death and sin don’t have the final say. The resurrection is God’s promise that new life is possible — not just someday, but starting right now.

How to Receive This Good News

This isn’t about earning, joining, or proving anything. It’s simply about saying yes. The Bible says, “If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

Receiving that gift is as personal as a conversation: admitting our need, trusting His grace, and inviting Him into our life. It’s not a formula — it’s faith.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17
