What Is the Gospel?
articleOctober 20, 2026· 1 min read
The gospel is the good news that through Jesus, God forgives, restores, and gives new life to everyone who trusts Him.
"Gospel" means good news. Scripture tells us that every one of us has fallen short of God's glory, and that sin separates us from the life God intended. But the story does not end there.
God loved the world so much that He sent His Son. Jesus lived the life we could not live, died on the cross in our place, and rose from the dead — defeating sin and death. Paul summarizes it simply: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and was raised on the third day.
This good news is a gift received by faith, not something earned. It is an invitation to be reconciled to God and to begin a new life with Him.
