The second study in our "Growing Deep in the Gospel" series in which we answer the question, "What is the Gospel?" In answering the question we looked at how the word "gospel" was used in Jesus' day and how the Bible describes the gospel. We also looked at what is the heart of the gospel, a outline of the basic gospel message and an outline of the gospel based on the entire Bible.

50. Though we deserve judgment, hell and wrath because we turned from God, who is our Creator, to be our own gods, there is good news! God has provided the way for our sin to be forgiven so that we can be restored in our relationship with Him and become His children and live with Him forever in His eternal kingdom. Basic Gospel Message

51. That way is through His Son Jesus, who became a man and lived a perfect, sinless life and then went to the cross where He paid the penalty for our sin. What we need to do in order to receive this salvation is to turn from sin back to God and place our faith in Jesus and all that He did for us. Basic Gospel Message
