The Transformational Power of the Gospel

The gospel proclaims the bad news that humanity is inherently sinful and wicked, completely dead in trespasses and sins. Therefore, a savior, Christ, is essential to save humanity from their sin. Christ lived a perfect life, proclaimed the arrival of the Messiah, was rejected, illegally tried, whipped, crowned with thorns, and crucified as the substitute for humanity's sins. He was buried and resurrected after three days, with hundreds of eyewitness testimonies, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in victory. This gospel message is about the living and active Christ, not just a good man or a prophet.
