What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
The gospel message, very simply put, is the understanding of the Person and work of Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer of mankind as is described in the Holy Bible.
We must first understand that as human beings, we are all born into this earth as sons and daughters of Adam. Adam was created as the first son of God and was given charge over all of God's earthly domain. When Adam rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden, he lost his position of authority as well as the eternal Spirit that united him with his heavenly Father. Adam was rendered at that moment spiritually dead.
Adam could not pass onto his sons and daughters a life that he no longer had. Consequently, all those born of him are born alive in body and soul, but not in Spirit. Because of this, they were no longer equipped to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven and experience an eternal life with God. This includes every human being born into this earth from the very beginning of time, regardless of race, ethnicity, tongue or tribe.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is simply this:
Jesus came into the world as the only begotten Son of God, conceived of the seed of a woman and of the Holy Spirit. In this way, He did not inherit the sin, nor the sin nature of fallen Adam.
Jesus did what Adam failed to do, in that He lived a life of perfect obedience to His Heavenly Father throughout His entire life. In this way, Jesus never committed any acts of sin.
Jesus Christ took upon Himself the sins of mankind and carried them to the cross, where He was sacrificed as a payment for sin in the eyes of God. The justice of God was satisfied by His atoning death.
But because Jesus Himself was perfect and sinless, He could not be bound by the bonds of death and hell. He was raised again by the Spirit of God on the third day.
After His resurrection, He ascended into the Kingdom of Heaven, received again by His Heavenly Father to sit at His right hand and reign over all of creation as the Rightful King.
One day very soon, Jesus will return to establish His earthly Kingdom and reclaim all that is lawfully His. All of heaven and earth will be renewed and reunited in perfection as it was always meant to be.

Everything that Christ did can be applied to you by simply believing the Truth about Who He is and what He has done for you. When you call upon His Name in faith, and in confession and repentance for your sins, He hears you and will receive you. In a perfect exchange, He will take away your sin and give you the life of Holy Spirit. When you do this, you are one with Christ, a child of God, and equipped to inherit the kingdom God intended for you from the foundations of the earth. With the aid of the Spirit of holiness within you, you too can live a life of obedience to your Heavenly Father, living a life that reflects the light and love of God dwelling within you.
​
It is our prayer that you would be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and all that He has done for you. We pray that you would find hope and healing in this restoring relationship. It is a life you were meant to live and a life that was purchased for you by the blood of Jesus.
