A DEEPER LOOK AT THE GOSPEL
1.
The character of God
Biblical truth: God is the just and gracious Creator of all things.

The sinfulness of man

3.
The sufficiency of Christ
Biblical truth: Jesus Christ alone is able to remove our sin and reconcile us to God through His death. He alone satisfies the wrath of God for our sins.

The necessity of faith
