The gospel - "good news" - is the most important message we could ever hear or tell - so it is important to know exactly what this good news is.

It starts with some very bad news. Everyone has sinned in God's sight. This has left us spiritually dead, separated from God, helpless and in desperate need of redemption.

But then there is wonderful news! Jesus - God's beloved Son - died, paying the penalty for our sin, and then rose from the dead so that we could be rescued from the grip of evil and reconciled to God!

This is good news indeed - and it demands a response! How will you respond?
