The gospel is the good news that God, who is more holy than we can imagine, looked upon with compassion, people, who are more sinful than we would possibly admit, and sent Jesus into history to establish his Kingdom and reconcile people and the world to himself. Jesus, whose love is more extravagant than we can measure, came to sacrificially die for us so that we might gain through His grace what the Bible defines as eternal life through His death and resurrection: to know the only true God and take hold of this present life by the direction and abundant strength afforded to us by through the Spirit.
