The gospel is true as it reveals God's sovereign grace and is rooted in the historical death and resurrection of Christ.
The truth of the gospel message is substantiated by its origins in Scripture and the historical reality of Christ's death and resurrection. In 1 John 1:5, the Apostle John states, 'This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.' The gospel showcases God's sovereign grace, as it reveals the work of Christ in redeeming His people. This message is validated by the transformative power it holds over lives, as those who believe in the light of Christ experience genuine change and reassurance of their standing before God.
