The Gospel of Christ (Part 3) – Why We Need Salvation

Pastor Tim Travis explains that the gospel of Christ is the only power capable of providing salvation to a fallen world. He argues that humanity exists in a state of total depravity, having deliberately suppressed the innate knowledge of God revealed through creation and conscience. This rejection initiates a downward spiral of degeneration, where individuals exchange the truth for idolatry and eventually succumb to vile affections and a reprobate mind. Ultimately, Pastor Travis emphasizes that one must first confront the “bad news” of their sinful condition and the reality of divine wrath before they can truly appreciate the grace offered through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
