The Core of the Gospel

Six Key Points · According to the Bible (Chinese Union Version)

01

God is a holy and righteous Creator.

His law is perfect, and He cannot tolerate sin.(Isaiah 6:3)

02

We have all broken God's law.

Measured by the Ten Commandments, we are all sinners when we lie, covet, and harbor evil thoughts.(Romans 3:23)

03

The consequence of sin is death and judgment.

After death, people must stand before God, and sinners deserve eternal punishment.(Romans 6:23; Hebrews 9:27)

04

Jesus Christ died on the cross in the place of sinners.

The sinless Son of God bore the punishment that sinners deserved.(1 Peter 3:18)

05

He rose bodily from the dead on the third day.

He conquered death, proving that God has accepted His sacrifice.(1 Corinthians 15:3–4)

06

God commands people to repent and trust in Christ.

All who repent and trust in Him freely receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.(Mark 1:15)

Detailed Explanation: What is the Gospel →
REPENT & BELIEVE

What do repentance and faith mean?

repent

repentNot merely regret, but acknowledging one's sin before God, sorrowing over sin, turning away from sin, and turning to God.

Faith

FaithIt is not merely believing that Jesus exists, but ceasing to rely on one's own good works, and trusting solely in Jesus Christ and His salvation.

Apostle Paul summarized what he preached as:

"Repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ."
Acts 20:21

The Reformed tradition summarizes faith thus:

"Saving faith is the grace of God whereby we receive Christ, resting upon Him alone for salvation, as He is offered to us in the Gospel."
— Westminster Shorter Catechism, Question 86 (Site Translation)
PRAYER

You can pray like this (for reference)

The words of a prayer cannot save a person; Jesus Christ saves. God looks at the heart. If you truly repent and trust in Christ, you can pray to God in your own words; the following is merely a reference, not a formula that works just by reciting it.
Reference PrayerHoly God: I confess that I have broken Your law, sinned against You, and I deserve judgment. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. I am willing to turn from my sins and trust in Jesus Christ alone as my Savior and Lord. Please forgive me, make me Your child, and help me to obey You all my days. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:9

NEXT STEPS

Next Steps

01

Read the Bible

Start with the Gospel of John, one chapter a day. "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31).

02

pray

Speak to God daily, confess your sins, thank Him for His grace in Christ, and ask Him to help you understand His word.

03

Join a Bible-believing church.

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another" (Hebrews 10:25).

04

Get baptized.

"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). Please consult with a pastor of the church.

CHURCH

How to find a Bible-believing church?

Reformed tradition points out that the marks of a true church are: the pure preaching of the gospel, the administration of the sacraments (baptism and the Lord's Supper) according to Christ's institution, and the exercise of church discipline for correcting faults (see The Belgic Confession, Article 29). When visiting a church, you can look for:

？Is the preaching centered on explaining the Bible, clearly addressing sin, the cross, repentance, and faith?
？Does the church have a public confession of faith and hold fast to doctrines such as the Trinity, the two natures of Christ, and justification by faith?
？Are baptism and the Lord's Supper administered according to the Bible?
？Are there pastors who care for the congregation and are willing to read the Bible with you?
