What is the gospel?
Het evangelie — het woord betekent «goed nieuws» — is de boodschap dat God in Jezus Christus heeft gehandeld om zondaars te redden: Jezus stierf voor onze zonden, stond op en biedt vergeving en eeuwig leven aan ieder die op Hem vertrouwt.

At its heart the gospel is news about what God has done, not advice about what we must achieve. Humanity is separated from God by sin; we cannot fix that ourselves. In love, God sent his Son.
The core facts are simple: Jesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross bearing the penalty for sin, and rose bodily from the grave, defeating death. Because of this, God offers full forgiveness and a restored relationship with himself.
The response the gospel calls for is to turn from sin and trust in Jesus. As John 3:16 puts it, “whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” That trust, not personal merit, is how the good news becomes ours.
