The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Christianity makes a claim about history and about you: that God became a man, lived, died for sins He had not committed, and rose again — and that this changes everything about where you stand with Him.

These pages set out that claim plainly. No pressure, no jargon. Where the Bible says something clearly, we say it clearly. Where Christians have long disagreed, or where Scripture is quiet, we say that too.

If you are investigating rather than convinced, you are in the right place, and you are welcome to take your time.

Start Here

Seven questions, in the order they usually come up.

  1. 1 Why Did Jesus Come? Jesus explained His own mission in His own words. Start where He started.
  2. 2 What Is Sin? Before the good news makes sense, the bad news has to be honest.
  3. 3 Why Did Jesus Die? The centre of the Christian faith, and the hardest thing to explain quickly.
  4. 4 What Does It Mean to Be Born Again? A phrase people use loosely. Jesus meant something specific.
  5. 5 How Can I Be Saved? If you read only one page here, read this one.
  6. 6 How Can I Know I Have Eternal Life? Assurance is not arrogance. Scripture says you can know.
  7. 7 What Happens After Death? The question underneath most other questions.
