Our Foundation: The Gospel

The gospel is the message of salvation in Christ by grace through faith. There are five fundamental truths of the gospel.

1

The Problem of Sin

All people have broken the commandments, and are guilty before God.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
2

The Punishment of Sinners

Sinners deserve to be punished in hell, and they cannot save themselves.

"For the wages of sin is death..." - Romans 6:23
3

The Provision of the Savior

Jesus is the only Savior, and he died and rose again to obtain salvation for all sinners.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
4

The Plan of Salvation

Salvation is by faith alone in Christ, and is not of works.

"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." - Romans 3:28
5

The Promise of Security

Salvation is eternal, and believers can never go to hell.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus..." - Romans 8:1
