Gospel Essentials

The purpose of this book is to inform in a simple manner why Christians believe Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the only Savior of the world. That is, he is the only person through whom the Bible promises to give eternal life. This book answers questions related to the meaning of his name, his genealogy, his life and ministry, his death, his resurrection, his ascension into heaven, and his promised coming again to be God's future King over all the earth. Every statement made is backed up with quotations from the Bible. This book will not only inform the non-Christian as to whom Christians believe Jesus to be, but will also give information to strengthen the faith of those who already believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
