It is our desire at GraceLife Skelton to share the hope of the gospel, that "good news" about Jesus Christ, with as many people as possible.

Why?

Because it truly is the greatest message in the world, a message which has transformed millions of lives throughout history, for those who have embraced it.

Please read below for an expanded explanation of what the gospel is. Essentially, it's the "good news" about Jesus Christ, and what He came to earth to accomplish. If you have any questions or would like us to pray for you, or you want a free bible, please contact us and we'd be more than happy to help you.

The Good News of the Gospel

The ‘gospel’ is the good news about what Jesus Christ has done to save sinners.

[John 3:16 ESV] 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD:

GOD IS REAL, and He made all things.

(Genesis 1:1, Romans 1:20-21)

GOD IS GOOD:

He is LOVE (1 John 4:8)

He is HOLY (Revelation 4:8)

He is JUST (Ecclesiastes 3:17)

THE TRUTH ABOUT US (MANKIND):

WE ARE MORALLY CORRUPT & SINFUL

(Romans 3:10-12, 23)

This means that because God is JUST, and because we are guilty of breaking His commandments, we deserve God’s punishment.

WE CANNOT SAVE OURSELVES:

We can never be good enough to get to heaven (Ephesians 2:8-10).

GOD’S GREAT SOLUTION: (Romans 6:23, 2 Corinthians 5:21)

Jesus was God in the flesh – fully God & fully man

Jesus willingly offered Himself – as our substitute

Jesus took upon Himself the wrath & judgement of God for our sins

Jesus rose from the dead, defeating sin & death and proving He was God

OUR RESPONSE:

We can respond to God, by turning from our sin (repentance), and turning to God by placing our faith in what Christ has done for us on the cross (Mark 1:14-15)

THE RESULT:

When we repent, and place our trust in Christ alone, it means we will be (Ephesians 1:1-14):

Forgiven of all sin

Justified in the eyes of God (made right)

Adopted into God’s family

Granted Eternal Life (in heaven forever)

Living a life of purpose (knowing, loving & serving God)

Place your trust in Christ today, it is the most important and life-changing decision you can make.
