The Gospel (which means Good News) is good news because:
- God has come to earth. Jesus Christ was born.
- God loves us and revealed that by sending his son Jesus Christ.
- The Old Testament prophecies have come true.
- God provided a permanent way to confess sins and to be forgiven, fulfilling what the sacrificial system in the temple set up.
- We are promised to be resurrected in the future like Jesus.
- When we die, we will be with God forever. Nothing can separate us from that love.
- God is truth and in him is no lie.
- God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
- God has provided believers on earth the church where we can be encouraged, serve one another and focus our attention on God.
- The Holy Spirit equips us to serve God's kingdom.
- Jesus Christ taught us to love our neighbors.
- Satan ultimately has been defeated.
- All things work together for good for those who are called by God and believe in him to do the best.
