The
gospel of Jesus Christ is the most glorious truth a person can
ever come to know and believe. It is so simple a child can
understand it, yet so profound that eternity will not exhaust
the depths of its glory and wonder.
There is so much that can be said. Here, however, we can only
hope to set forth some of the essential aspects of the gospel.
We pray that through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ you will
begin to discover and enjoy the depth of God's love for sinners.
There is one true God that exists in three persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. This God created man in His image and likeness
and for His own glory.
Instead of enjoying God, being
humble, grateful and living for His glory, all of us rebelled.
We acted arrogantly and chose to live for ourselves. The Bible
calls this sin. The Bible also tells us that sin brings upon us
God's righteous judgment; the sentence of death and hell.
Because God is gracious, loving
and kind, it is in His heart to forgive sinners. But because God
is also holy and just, He cannot forgive any sinner without sin
being punished and His holy law being vindicated and upheld. God
is righteous and His law must stand, yet He is merciful and
desires to forgive sinners. This is why God sent His Son.
This is what the person and
work of Jesus Christ are all about. Jesus Christ lived a
perfect, holy and sinless life. Then He suffered and died as a
sacrifice for sin. His life and death make it possible for God
to be righteous and merciful to those who have faith in Jesus.
This is the gospel. We have
sinned and deserve death and hell. God in mercy offers
forgiveness and eternal life in His Son, Jesus Christ. We
receive Jesus Christ by faith and in receiving Him we receive
the benefits of His life and death.
We trust you see the simplicity
of the message. We also hope you understand how profound it
really is. Your response to this simple message will determine
where you spend eternity.
If we can help you in any way
to understand and believe the gospel, please don't hesitate to

Christian?" will be sent upon your request.
"He who believes in the Son has
eternal life; but he who does not believe the Son shall not see
life, but the wrath of God abides on him." - John 3:36
