Our Mission Is To Share The Good News
Welcome
Welcome to our website, which is dedicated to presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ and its importance. You most likely arrived at this website after receiving a tract or pamphlet pointing you in this direction. Whether you have been attending church your entire life or are just beginning to explore the Gospel, our goal is to share how you can be sure you will spend eternity in heaven.
When exploring Jesus’ teachings and Christianity’s principles, the Bible must remain our ultimate authority. While church traditions and additional teachings provide insights or historical context, they cannot replace or supersede the authority of Scripture. The Bible stands as a timeless guide, providing clarity on God’s nature, His plan for humanity, and the path to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
To uphold this truth, we’ve included a section explaining why the Bible is trustworthy—highlighting its authorship, prophetic accuracy, historical reliability, and transformative impact throughout history.
As followers of Jesus, our mission is to be Salt and Light in the world and fulfill the Great Commission.
So, what does it mean to be Salt and Light, and how is the Great Commission fulfilled? The short answer is to fulfill the roles Jesus assigned to His followers, and to be His ambassadors by pleading the Gospel on His behalf. His love compels us to share the ‘Good News’ until everyone has heard.

Good News
The “Gospel” and “The Good News” are interchangeable terms; both refer to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. In the context of Christianity, salvation refers to the act of being rescued or delivered by God from the penalty of sin and its consequences. However, before the Good News can be fully appreciated, the “Bad News” must be addressed. The Bad News is the reality of sin and its consequences. There are four key aspects to this reality:
First, man is separated from a holy, righteous God by sin. This separation is a result of humanity’s rebellion against God’s perfect will.
Second, God hates sin and is “angry with the wicked every day” (Psalm 7:11). God’s holiness and justice demand that sin be punished, and His wrath is a consequence of sin.
Third, death and judgment are inevitable (Hebrews 9:27). Every human being will face death and judgment, and the consequences of sin will be revealed.
Fourth, man is wholly incapable of doing anything about the situation. Humanity is powerless to rescue itself from the consequences of sin, and salvation only comes outside of human effort.
But, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that God has provided the way for man to be freed from the penalty of sin (Romans 6:23, John 14:6). (Acts 4:12) underscores that salvation is exclusively through Jesus.
Everyone dies physically, but those who believe in Jesus Christ are promised a physical resurrection unto eternal life in Heaven (John 11:23–26). Those who reject Christ will not only die physically but will undergo a “second death,” which the Bible describes as an eternal lake of fire (Revelation 20:13–14).
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news anyone will ever hear; what a person does with it determines where they spend eternity. God is calling you to choose life. Call on the name of the Lord and be saved (Romans 10:13).

Salvation
Salvation, according to the Bible, is the act of being saved from sin and its consequences—ultimately, eternal separation from God—and being reconciled to Him through faith in Jesus Christ. It’s the central theme of the Gospel, which means "good news," and reflects God’s plan to redeem humanity. Here’s an explanation based on key biblical principles:
The Need for Salvation
The Bible teaches that all people are sinners by nature and choice, having fallen short of God’s perfect standard (Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"). Sin carries a penalty—spiritual death, or eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"). Left in this state, humanity is unable to save itself through good works or effort (Ephesians 2:8-9), because God’s holiness demands justice for sin.
The Gospel: God’s Solution
The Gospel is the good news that God, out of His love, provided a way for humanity to be saved through Jesus Christ. John 3:16 captures this: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus, being fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitute for our sins, and rose again on the third day, defeating death and proving His power over sin (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
- Sin’s Penalty Paid: On the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserve. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." His death satisfied God’s justice, allowing forgiveness to be offered.
- Resurrection: Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates victory over sin and death, offering the promise of eternal life to those who trust in Him (Romans 4:25).
How Salvation is Received
Salvation is a gift from God, received by faith, not earned by works. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Faith involves:
- Repentance: Turning away from sin and toward God (Acts 3:19).
- Belief: Trusting in Jesus’ death and resurrection as the only means of forgiveness and reconciliation with God (John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me").
- Confession: Acknowledging Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9: "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved").
The Result of Salvation
When someone accepts this gift:
- They are forgiven of their sins (Colossians 1:13-14).
- They are reconciled to God, becoming His children (John 1:12).
- They receive eternal life, beginning now and extending beyond death (John 10:28).
- The Holy Spirit indwells them, empowering a transformed life (Romans 8:11).
Summary
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the message that God saves sinners through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Salvation is God’s gracious rescue plan, offered freely to all who repent and believe. It’s not just about escaping punishment but entering a restored relationship with God, now and forever. As Jesus said in John 5:24, "Whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life."
