The Gospel: Good News from God

The gospel is God’s good news about His gift of forgiveness and real life with Him. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Sharing His good news with you is one of the main reasons Fellowship exists as a church. We pray that you will accept God’s gracious gift. Here’s how to understand who He is, what He has done for all of us, and how you can trust in Him.

Ruler
God, the holy, loving, joyful Creator, is the sovereign One over all people and things. He has a perfect design for our lives. As such, He deserves first place in everything: the worship, reverence and obedience of His creation. (Revelation 4:11; Romans 1:20)

Rebels
We, the creation, have chosen our own path in life, and walked away from our holy and gracious Creator. The Bible calls this sin. As a result we deserve our due penalty—death and separation from the loving God. (Romans 1:18-19; Romans 6:23)

Redemption
Jesus Christ (God’s Son, the Messiah), who is fully God, took on a human body, lived a perfect life, died in our place (thus taking our death penalty), and rose from death. As a result, the ability to know our Creator and live in His design was restored and made available in Christ. (John 1:14; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

Renewal
The redemption that He made available cannot be earned, but is freely offered to us, and applied individually as we respond to His grace in repentance and faith—which means turning from sin and believing in Christ, accepting His gracious gift of life. We then start to grow in Christlike character. God renews us from the inside out, and we can begin following His original design. Then, one day in the future, we will be with Him in His new creation. (Romans 10:9-10; Romans 8:11; 2 Peter 3:13)
