OUR MISSION
"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve."

what is the gospel?
Scripture declares that the gospel of God is the gospel of Jesus Christ and is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes for in the gospel of Jesus Christ the righteousness of God is revealed by faith.
The question is: what is the gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Bible? By the grace of God and for the glory of Jesus Christ, the material "As of First Importance: the Gospel of Jesus Christ" reverently and scripturally strives to answer this essential question.
1 Corinthians 15:1-5; Romans 1:1-17; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 1:6-9; Colossians 4:2-4; Philippians 1:27-28

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written "But the righteous man shall live by faith."
ROmans 1:16-17
