Good News for all

Christianity is all about the gospel, and the gospel is all about the good news of Jesus Christ.
In order to understand this good news we first have to understand some bad news about ourselves:
God made us and loves us and wants us to know him, but …
we have all rebelled against God and have sinned by disobeying him and by living for our own glory rather than His, so …
we have all been separated from God in this life and face His punishment in the next
But now for the good news:
God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 (The Bible)
God’s plan to forgive us and to restore us to Himself was to send Jesus, His only son, to die on our behalf. Jesus was resurrected from the dead, is alive today and through faith in Him you can be forgiven and receive abundant life with God that never ends.
