The Gospel

Our Role

At the heart and core of the gospel message is our future destiny. That all mankind has the opportunity to be spirit beings, members of God’s very own family. But should the gospel still be preached today, and if so, what is our role in it, both the United Church of God organization, and you and I individually? God’s Church has a job to do preparing this world for Christ’s return. We each have our role and responsibility to preach the gospel “from day to day” (Psalm 96:2), and that includes our personal example, in the words we say, and in the ways we serve. Let each of us boldly perform our role in proclaiming the gospel.
