Biblical foundations

Christian Gospel in Plain English

01 · ONE GOD

There is one God

Christians worship one God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not three gods. Scripture reveals the one God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 3:16–17 · Matthew 28:19

02 · JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the Son of God

The New Testament teaches that the eternal Son became truly human. Jesus died for sins, was buried and rose from the dead. He is Lord.

John 1:1–18 · Philippians 2:5–11 · 1 Corinthians 15:1–8

03 · HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit gives life

The Holy Spirit is divine and personal. He glorifies Christ, helps believers pray, produces holy character and equips the Church.

John 14:15–27 · Romans 8:1–27 · Galatians 5:16–25

04 · GOSPEL

The Gospel is good news

The Gospel is the good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ. We are not saved by earning God's favour, but by grace through faith.

Romans 3:21–26 · Ephesians 2:1–10 · 1 Corinthians 15:1–8

05 · RESPONSE

Repent and believe

Jesus calls people to repent and believe the Gospel. Repentance means turning toward God and away from sin; faith means trusting Jesus Christ.

Mark 1:14–15 · Acts 20:21 · Romans 10:9–13

06 · CHURCH

Follow Christ with His people

Christian faith is personal but not solitary. The New Testament calls believers into teaching, fellowship, prayer, baptism, service and witness within the Church.

Acts 2:37–47 · 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 · Hebrews 10:24–25

Prayer response

A simple prayer to God

Father, thank You for making Yourself known through Jesus Christ. Forgive my sins. Help me turn toward You, trust Jesus Christ and follow Him. Holy Spirit, lead me in truth and help me live in obedience, love and faith. Amen.

Matthew 6:9–13 · Romans 8:26–27 · Hebrews 4:14–16

IMPORTANT

A prayer is not a magic formula

Christian salvation is God's gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Repeating words does not save by itself. Prayer should express repentance, trust and dependence upon God.

Ephesians 2:8–10 · Romans 10:9–13
