" To be clearer, a Christian embraces the gospel. The gospel is the good news that the one and only true God, the Loving Creator, Sovereign King, and Holy Judge of all has wonderfully, equally, and uniquely made all people in his image. Nevertheless, all people have rebelled against him in their sin, are separated from him by their sin, and deserve death because of sin. But God has done the unthinkable. He has sent his Son, Jesus, God in the flesh, to live a perfect and powerful life, to die a sacrificial and substitutionary death on the cross for sinners, and to rise from the grave in victory over sin, Satan, and death. As a result, anyone who repents and believes in Jesus—anyone who turns from their sin and trusts in Jesus as Savior and Lord—will be forgiven of all their sin and restored to a right relationship with God forever. This is the gospel. "
