The Gospel

The most important thing about any church is what it believes. We believe firstly that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the only rule to direct us, teaching us what we are to believe about God and what duties He requires of us. Especially the Bible tells us how we may be saved from our sins.

What does it mean to be a Christian according to the Bible? It means believing that there is a God of perfect holiness and that He made man in His own image to know Him and glorify Him. We are dependent upon our Creator for all things.

The devil tempted our first parents to sin against God, resulting in the fall. Adam was the head of the whole human race and so we all sinned in him and fell with him. We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins and we cannot deliver ourselves.

The good news is that God was pleased to send His only begotten Son into the world to save His people. The gospel is the wonderful account of what God has done in the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross at Calvary in the place of the guilty and rose again. We are called to repent of all our sins and to believe in Christ that we may be forgiven. Then we shall have eternal life and enjoy a place in heaven when we die.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” – John 3:16
