What does it really mean to be made right with God?

In week two of our Ambassadors series, we walk through the heart of the Gospel and discover why our greatest need isn’t becoming a better person—it’s being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.

Using 2 Corinthians 5:21 and John 3:16–17, we explore:

• Why God created us for relationship with Him
• How sin separates us from God
• Why Jesus had to die on the cross
• What the Bible means by atonement
• The incredible Great Exchange—Jesus taking our sin and giving us His righteousness
• Why salvation is a gift of grace received through faith, not earned by good works
• What it means to trust Jesus personally

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Can I earn God’s forgiveness?
• Why did Jesus have to die?
• What is the Gospel?
• How can I know I’m right with God?

This message is for you.

For those who already follow Jesus, this message is a reminder that we never outgrow the Gospel. We grow deeper into it. As Christ’s ambassadors, we’ve been entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation and are called to share the hope we’ve received with the world around us.
