The Gospel

The gospel is the good news of salvation by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is the message that Christ died for our sins, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to his disciples. It is the good news that through the saving work of Jesus Christ we may enter the kingdom of God.
