Discover Jesus Christ

Christian faith is Trinitarian, and Jesus Christ stands at the centre of the Gospel: the eternal Son sent by the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, crucified for our sins, raised from the dead and reigning as Lord.

The heart of the Gospel

Jesus does not stand apart from the Father and the Spirit

The New Testament presents Jesus as the eternal Son who reveals the Father and gives the Holy Spirit to His people. To encounter Jesus rightly is to be drawn into the life, grace and saving purpose of the Triune God.

Following Jesus is more than adopting a religious label. It means turning to God, trusting Christ, receiving new life by the Holy Spirit and learning to live as a disciple within the Church.

The Gospel

Six truths to explore

A simple framework for understanding the Christian message.

1

God made us for Himself

The one true God is Creator, holy and loving. Human life has meaning because we are made by Him and accountable to Him.

2

Sin has broken our relationship with God

All people fall short of God's holiness. Sin distorts our relationship with God, one another, ourselves and creation.

3

The Father sent the Son

God did not abandon humanity. The eternal Son entered our world as Jesus Christ, truly God and truly human.

4

Jesus died and rose again

Christ gave Himself on the cross for our sins and rose bodily from the dead. Christian hope rests in what He has done, not self-salvation.

5

God calls us to repent and believe

Repentance turns from sin toward God. Faith entrusts ourselves to Jesus Christ and receives God's grace.

6

The Spirit gives new life

The Holy Spirit brings new birth, dwells in believers and forms a life of worship, holiness, love, service and witness.

Questions people ask

Explore without pretending

Why is Jesus so central if Christians believe in the Trinity?

Because the Son became human and accomplished salvation through His life, death and resurrection. Jesus reveals the Father and sends the Spirit; His centrality in the Gospel is fully Trinitarian rather than a denial of the Father or Holy Spirit.

Can God really forgive me?

The Christian message is that forgiveness is God's gift of grace through Jesus Christ. No one becomes worthy of salvation by first becoming good enough.

What does repentance mean?

Repentance is a genuine turning of heart and direction away from sin and toward God, inseparably joined to faith in Jesus Christ.

What if I have doubts?

Questions can be brought honestly into Scripture, prayer and thoughtful conversation. Christian faith does not require pretending difficult questions do not exist.

Why do I need a church?

Christian faith is personal but not solitary. A healthy local church is a place for worship, teaching, prayer, baptism, fellowship, pastoral care, service and shared witness.
