Christians always refer to 'the gospel' or 'the good news.' What exactly is this story that you consider so important?

God wants everyone to be happy, Jesus came to heal the sick, the Bible teaches us wisdom for living, church provides community, and prayer brings inner peace

Jesus died for our sins, Jesus was buried, Jesus rose again, Jesus ascended to Heaven, Jesus will return

God created a perfect world, humans ruined it through sin, God gave us rules to follow, Jesus came to be our example, and heaven awaits those who are good enough

Jesus taught us how to be good people, performed miracles to help others, showed us how to pray, established the church, and wrote the New Testament
