The Gospel is the good news that God saved us from our sins!
This page, “What Is the Gospel?”, explains the Christian Gospel as the good news that God saves people from sin through Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. It teaches that God created people for a loving relationship with Him, but sin separates humanity from God and cannot be fixed by human effort or good works. Jesus is presented as the solution: He lived a perfect life, died on the cross for sin, and rose again so people can receive forgiveness and eternal life by faith. We encourage you to trust Jesus as Savior and Lord, understand your need for salvation, share the Gospel with others, and use the site’s Christian encouragement resources, counseling links, helplines, Bible passages, and related pages for spiritual growth. The word “gospel” comes from the Greek “euangelion,” meaning “good news.” The New Testament announces that Jesus has brought the reign of God to the world through His life, death, and resurrection.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
God (The Creator): God made the world and everything in it, including people, to live in a close, loving relationship with Him.
Man (The Problem): Everyone has done wrong and broken God’s rules, what the Bible calls sin. Sin separates people from God, and no one can fix this gap on their own.
Jesus (The Solution): Out of great love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life, died on a cross to take the punishment for human sin, and rose from the dead three days later.
Faith (The Response): God offers forgiveness and eternal life as a free gift.
The Word “Gospel” Literally Means “Good News”.
It is the Christian message that God made humans, everyone sinned, and Jesus saves us through His death and resurrection.
A person receives this gift by turning away from sin and trusting in Jesus as Savior and Lord.
The Gospel Explained: God’s Good News For You
Good News (Gospel) & Bad News (Sin)
The bad news is that sin entered the world when Adam and Eve fell into temptation by disobeying God, and because of that original sin, we are separated from God.
The good news is that God sent His Son, Jesus, to redeem us from our sins. Jesus was born, lived, was crucified, died, was buried, and rose from the dead to save us from God’s judgment. We choose whether to accept or reject the good news of the Gospel.
We need to realize we live in a sinful world(watch the news to understand what I’m talking about) and that we are all sinners. We need to recognize that without Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross for us, our sins would not be forgiven, and we would be separated from God now and for eternity. Apply the good news of the Gospel and witness how it will change the way you view life! ~ Bill Greguska
Scriptures From God’s Word!

John 6:47 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life.
John 8:24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”

What Is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ?
The path to eternal life is paved with faith and trust in Jesus alone. When confronted with the Gospel, all we need is a simple act of belief—placing our unwavering faith solely in Jesus Christ. In doing so, we open ourselves up to freedom like never before! However, before one can fully grasp this liberating truth, one must first understand why salvation is necessary.
We are all sinners—imperfect beings who fall short of God’s righteousness time and time again. This separation caused by sin leads only to an eternity apart from God — a fate none of us desire deep down within our souls. Believe me, you don’t need to fear sharing the Gospel or your personal testimony with others.
Yet hope remains amid this darkness: accepting Jesus as both Lord and Savior opens a path to heaven and brings support and guidance here on earth! Only when one understands that they are a sinner and can not save themselves, and that we need a Savior in Jesus Christ. Tell others about us so they, too, can understand the Gospel more clearly. ~ Bill Greguska
In 2007, my pastor Ron Sauer and his wife Sue saw how depressed I was due to my wife giving up on our marriage. Ron and Sue encouraged me to encourage others. They were wise to know that if I reached out to help others, my problems would be put into perspective. I took their advice and it really helped! I trust you will find the encouragement you need here on our website. You can also call Need Him Phone Ministry 800-633-3446 or the Billy Graham prayer line 877-772-4559. God bless you!
