What is the Gospel?
Creation
Sacrifice
Creation
Before there was time or creation, there was an infinitely holy God. He created everything that we see by the word of His mouth and He created mankind in His image to have a relationship with Him in perfection and paradise.
Sin
Sacrifice
Creation
But mankind sinned, and because of sin, death entered the world. There is no amount of good, no amount of human sacrifice that can restore us to a holy and perfect God. God is infinitely holy and just one bad thought, one bad word separates us from God.

Sacrifice
So the infinitely holy God put on human flesh and came to this earth, lived a perfect life, was rejected, betrayed, abandoned, and persecuted, all because he saw you through time and wanted to love you and understand you. He ultimately gave His life and spilled His blood to forgive you and restore you to relationship with Him.
Victory
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Three days later, He rose from the dead, conquering sin, death, and hell once and for all. He is now inviting us to have a personal relationship with Him. He wants to empower you to live an abundant life, to go through all that He went through with the same power and victory that He experienced. The invitation is there: what will you do with it?
