Baptists are Gospel People

The term 'Gospel' means the whole range of truths which make up God's Good News. starting with the truth of God's existence and supreme authority over His created order, the gospel sets out the reality of human failure and disobedience. It makes clear that God will deal with disobedience by punishing all who do not confess their wrongdoing. Although human beings have rebelled against Him, God calls them back to a new relationship with Himself. This is possible by crossing the bridge built for us by the life and death of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all who believe. His death paid the penalty for all our disobedience and rebellion. But we do not benefit automatically. We need to turn round from living for ourselves, and start trusting God and obeying God's Son, the Lord Jesus. When this happens, a whole new life begins - it's called being born again! When God's gift of new life is received through faith a person joins God's family and starts out on the Christian journey.
