The Good News

​​​​​​

The word Gospel means good news—and it really is, because it comes from God.

God made you. He knows you—and He loves you.
But we all mess up. We lie, we hurt others, or we live like God doesn’t matter. The Bible calls that sin. Sin separates us from God—it’s like a wall between us and Him.

But God didn’t leave us that way. He sent His Son, Jesus.

Jesus is God’s Son.
He never did anything wrong—but He died on the cross to take the punishment for our sin. Three days later, He came back to life—Jesus is alive!

That means: You can have a brand-new start.

If you believe in Jesus, trust Him, and say, “I want to live with You,” God will forgive you. He’ll give you peace, hope, and a new life that never ends.

This is the Gospel:
God loves you. Jesus died for you. And you can live with Him—today, tomorrow, and forever.

​

Do You Want to Give Your Life to Jesus?

If something in your heart says, “Yes, I want this!”, then you can talk to Jesus right now. You can pray something like this:

Jesus, I believe You are God’s Son.
You died for my sins and rose again.
Please forgive me for everything that separates me from You.
I want to trust You and follow You.
Be my Savior, my friend and my Lord.
I belong to You now. Amen.

If you meant that prayer in your heart, then know this:
God heard you. You are now His child. Welcome to His family!
