The Gospel Message of Jesus Christ (The Good News!)
Our church is called Edgewater Bible Church. The Bible is our ultimate manual for life. It teaches us about who God is, and what He wants for our lives. Throughout the Bible, a common theme is interwoven and that theme points to the meaning of life; to the meaning of our individual lives and to the meaning of existence in general. That theme is the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you are looking for big answers, this message is the foundation for all of those answers.
We are created beings. There is a God and that God created us. As our creator, God loves us. When He created us, it was His intention that we would be connected to Him in an intimate relationship. It is a need inside of every person to be connected to God. But every person that has ever been created has disconnected themselves from God. The thing that disconnects us from God is our sin. Sin is anything wrong that we do. As much as we try to do good, we have all done something wrong and that simple fact separates us from God. The difficult part is that there is nothing that we can do to reconnect ourselves to God. We can try to be a good person or we can try and do good things, but that won't fix the problem.
Thankfully, even though we do wrong things, God still loves us. To demonstrate that love, God came down to this earth in bodily form to deal with our sin. Someone had to pay the price for the wrong things that we do and Jesus Christ, who is God, paid that price for you and me. By living a perfect life, by dying on a cross, and by being raised from the dead, Jesus showed the world His love for us and paid the price for our sins. If we are obedient to turn to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and if we believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord, then our sins can be forgiven. If our sins can be forgiven, then we can be reconnected to God and we can spend eternity with God forever in heaven.
