Gospel Explanation

The Gospel is the good news that the holy God saves sinners through Jesus Christ. God created all things and is holy. Man has sinned against God and deserves judgment. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man, lived without sin, died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, and rose again from the dead. God commands all people to repent and believe in Christ.

Transcript

This visual vernacular presentation tells the story of the Gospel from creation to the cross. God created the heavens and the earth. Everything He made was good. He created man and woman in His image. But man rebelled against God. Sin entered the world. All people have sinned. Sin separates us from God. The wages of sin is death. But God, in His mercy, sent His Son. Jesus Christ came into the world. He was born of a virgin. He lived without sin. He taught with authority. He healed the sick. He called sinners to repent. Then He went to the cross. He was beaten. He was crucified. He bore the wrath of God for sinners. He died. He was buried. On the third day, He rose again. Death could not hold Him. He is alive. And now God commands every person to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Turn from your sin. Trust in Christ alone. He is the only way to be saved.
