The word GOSPEL means GOOD NEWS!
We all want peace. Today more than ever, World Peace is on the lips of everyone.
The problem is that we can never have something as a global community if individual people of the world don't even know how to have it in their own lives.
The Good News is that Jesus has offered this personal gift of peace to us all.
The Bible is a wonderful book, and contains everything we need to know in order to live our lives the way our Creator intended God shows us how we disobeyed him and then, through the history, poetry and wisdom of this book, shows how we can come back to him. The Bible is God's word to us and the main way in which we can hear him speak.
In the Bible, there are countless truths to live by, but its basic message is; God calling us all back to be in relationship with him. It begins with an explanation of how every person came to have the problem of trusting ourselves more than God. This faithlessness toward God, often called sin, shows itself through our actions, thoughts or attitudes that devalue God while promoting ourselves.
Every one of us has this problem and the consequences include our separation from God and ultimately, our death. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do on our own to solve this problem.
The Bible, however, says that there is a solution ........
