The Gospel is the good news that God loves us so deeply that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins and rise again on the third day, defeating sin and death. Though our sins separate us from God, through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, we are offered forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. This is the heart of the Gospel: we are saved not by our own works, but by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
