The gospel reveals our need for Christ by adequately portraying our sinful condition and God's redemptive plan in Him.
The gospel is the essential message that exposes our depravity and proclaims the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. In John 6:51, Jesus refers to Himself as the 'bread of life,' emphasizing that His sacrificial death and subsequent resurrection are vital for eternal life. This portrayal of Christ as crucial sustenance underscores humanity's spiritual hunger and need for redemption. Furthermore, the proper understanding of the gospel necessitates recognizing our sinful state as articulated in Romans 3:23, 'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' Recognizing our need for a Savior leads us to rest in Christ, who alone can satisfy our deepest spiritual needs.
