One Sentence Gospel

This is the Gospel in one sentence.

Many people try to simplify the Gospel but if any part is missing, it is no longer the Gospel of the Bible.

The Holy, just and gracious God of the universe looked on hopelessly sinful people and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, to bear His wrath against sin on the cross and to show His power over sin in the resurrection so that all who have faith in Him may be reconciled to God forever this is all for God’s glory. (Romans 1:18-2:16, Ex. 34:7, Proverbs 17:15, Romans 3:11-26)

Keep in mind “One of the signs that you may not grasp the unique, radical nature of the Gospel is that you are certain that you do.” –Timothy Keller
