The Gospel (literally"good news") of salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of God is that God has declared through His Word and the Bible, that all humans have sinned and fall short of God's standard of perfection, which means we are all in sin and separated from God and deserving of eternal punishment. However, Jesus, through his life, death, and resurrection, has made a way for us to be reconciled with God and receive eternal life. This salvation is a free gift of grace that we can receive by placing our faith in Jesus and trusting in his sacrifice on the cross as the payment for our sins. This is God's love for humanity and His desire for us to have a relationship with Him through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.
