Grace Valley - Helping people connect with God
What do Christians mean when they use the term gospel?

The Facts of Salvation
1. All people have sinned (for all have sinned and fall short. Romans 3:23)
2. The penalty is death. (The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.)
3. Jesus paid the penalty. (But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
So to become a Christian means a willing response to the goodness where we see ourselves as sinners who cannot save ourselves and place our confidence in Jesus to save us. It's saying "yes" to Jesus. Yes to his sacrifice for us personally. Yes to belief in him. Yes to receiving him.
