“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

John 3:16

The Foundation

Who Is Jesus &
What Is the Gospel?

The word “Gospel” simply means good news. Here’s the message in plain language.

1
God Loves You

God created you and knows you personally. He desires a relationship with you — not religion, but a real and living relationship.

John 3:16 • Jeremiah 29:11
2
We All Fall Short

Every person has sinned — made choices that separate us from a holy God. This isn’t condemnation. It’s the beginning of good news.

Romans 3:23 • Romans 6:23
3
Jesus Is the Bridge

God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live a perfect life, die on the cross as payment for our sin, and rise from the dead three days later.

John 14:6 • Romans 5:8
4
You Can Respond Today

Salvation is a free gift received by faith. Believe in Jesus, confess Him as Lord, and trust Him with your life.

Romans 10:9–10 • Ephesians 2:8–9

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 • Jesus Christ

Common Questions

Questions People
Often Ask

No. Jesus invites people exactly as they are. Come as you are.
Doubt is a normal part of faith. Faith isn’t the absence of doubt — it’s choosing to trust despite it. Ask questions. Seek answers. God is not afraid of your questions.
Being “saved” means being forgiven of sin and restored to a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Yes. The Bible is the most historically documented book in human history, with thousands of ancient manuscripts confirming its accuracy.
Just speak honestly — thank Him, tell Him what you need, confess what you’ve done wrong, and ask for guidance. Jesus modeled prayer in Matthew 6:9–13.

Biblical Continuity

How the Torah
Points to Jesus

From the very beginning of Scripture, God revealed His plan of redemption. The Torah — Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy — doesn’t merely contain laws. It lays a foundation filled with themes, patterns, symbols, and promises that Christians understand as pointing forward to Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua HaMashiach in Hebrew).

Christians believe the Old and New Testaments tell one unified story of a God who loves humanity and has always been working to restore relationship with His creation. What follows is a respectful, educational look at how many Christians understand the Torah in light of the New Testament — and an invitation for you to read these passages yourself and draw your own conclusions.

🐑
The Passover Lamb

God instructed Israel to sacrifice a spotless lamb and place its blood on their doorposts so the angel of death would pass over. Christians see this as foreshadowing Jesus — the Lamb of God whose blood brings deliverance.

Exodus 12John 1:291 Cor 5:7
When John the Baptist saw Jesus, he declared: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Paul wrote that “Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed” (1 Cor 5:7). The timing of Jesus’ crucifixion at Passover is understood by Christians as fulfilling this pattern established in Exodus.

🐍
The Bronze Serpent

God told Moses to lift a bronze serpent on a pole so anyone who looked at it would be healed. Jesus referenced this directly when describing His own crucifixion as the one who must be “lifted up.”

Numbers 21John 3:14–15
Jesus said: “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” (John 3:14–15).

🍞
The Manna from Heaven

God provided miraculous bread from heaven to sustain Israel through 40 years in the wilderness. Jesus declared Himself the true Bread from Heaven who gives eternal life to all who receive Him.

Exodus 16John 6
Jesus said: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry” (John 6:35). The manna sustained life temporarily; the bread He offers sustains life eternally.

🔥
The Sacrificial System

Leviticus establishes detailed sacrifices for atonement — a constant reminder that sin requires a cost. Christians understand these as pointing toward the ultimate, once-for-all sacrifice in Jesus Christ.

Leviticus 1–7Hebrews 9–10
Hebrews explains: “It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4). The sacrificial system pointed forward to a better, permanent sacrifice — Jesus, who offered Himself “once for all.”

👑
The High Priest

Only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies, once per year, to make atonement for the people. The New Testament presents Jesus as the perfect High Priest who opened a permanent way to God.

Leviticus 16Hebrews 4–10
Hebrews 4:14: “We have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God.” Unlike earthly high priests who had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice, once, in the true heavenly sanctuary.

Abraham and Isaac

God asked Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac on Mount Moriah — then provided a ram as substitute. Many Christians see this as a foreshadowing of the Father offering His own Son on that same mountain range.

Genesis 22John 3:16
Abraham said in faith: “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering” (Genesis 22:8). Christians read this as prophetic — the Father would ultimately provide the Lamb (Jesus) at the very place where Abraham trusted Him.
Learn More ↗
The Promise to Abraham

God promised Abraham that through his offspring all nations on earth would be blessed. Christians connect this ancient promise to the worldwide impact of the Gospel through Jesus the Messiah.

Genesis 12:1–3Galatians 3:16
Paul wrote: “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed… meaning one person, who is Christ” (Galatians 3:16). The blessing to all nations is the Gospel reaching every ethnicity and background.

The Prophet Like Moses

Near the end of the Torah, Moses prophesied that God would raise up a prophet like himself from among the people. The New Testament identifies that prophet as Jesus of Nazareth.

Deuteronomy 18:15Acts 3:22
Moses said: “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you… You must listen to him.” In Acts 3, Peter declared this prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus — who, like Moses, delivered God’s people from bondage.

The Biblical Feasts

God’s Feast-Steps
of Salvation

In Leviticus 23, God gave Israel seven annual feasts — not merely as religious rituals, but as a divine calendar that tells the story of salvation from beginning to eternity. Christians who study these feasts discover that each one is fulfilled or foreshadowed in Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua). Together, they form a remarkable staircase — from justification all the way to eternal life with God.

Step 1
Passover
Justification

We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice through grace, forgiveness, repentance and obedience. Just as the Passover lamb’s blood protected Israel from death, Jesus’ blood covers our sin. This is the starting point — where we enter into relationship with God.

Romans 5:1–3 Romans 8:30 Titus 3:3–7 Exodus 12 1 Cor 5:7
Learn More ↗
Step 2
Feast of
Unleavened Bread
Separation

We become a holy, living sacrifice — set apart from the world. Leaven in Scripture often symbolizes sin and compromise. During this feast, Israel removed all leaven from their homes. Christians understand this as a picture of purging sin and living differently as God’s people.

2 Cor 6:14–18 Romans 12:1–2 John 17:14–16 1 John 2:16–17
Learn More ↗
Step 3
Feast of
Pentecost
Transformation

The saints receive God’s Spirit and become His children. In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples on the day of Pentecost — the exact feast day God had appointed. This fulfilled the festival’s meaning: a new harvest of people being gathered into God’s family, transformed from within.

Romans 5:5 Romans 8:4–17 2 Cor 3:18 Acts 2 1 John 3:24
Learn More ↗
Step 4
Feast of
Trumpets
Glorification

The saints are resurrected and transformed into immortal, Spirit-born children of God. The blowing of trumpets signals a momentous announcement — the return of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead. Paul writes that “at the last trumpet” the dead will be raised imperishable.

Daniel 12:1–3 1 Cor 15:50–55 Romans 8:19–23 1 John 3:2
Learn More ↗
Step 5
Day of
Atonement
Purification

Satan is removed and restrained. On the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the High Priest made atonement for all Israel — and a scapegoat was sent into the wilderness, symbolically carrying the nation’s sins away. Christians see this pointing to Satan’s final binding and the complete removal of evil.

Leviticus 16 Romans 16:20 Revelation 20:1–3
Learn More ↗
Step 6
Feast of
Tabernacles
Beautification

The earth is restored to Eden-like beauty under the reign of Jesus Christ. The Feast of Tabernacles celebrated Israel dwelling in temporary shelters, remembering God’s provision in the wilderness. Christians understand it as pointing to the Millennial Kingdom — when Jesus reigns on earth and creation is healed.

Isaiah 11:6–9 Ezekiel 36:35 Acts 3:19–21 Revelation 20:6
Learn More ↗
Step 7
The
Eighth Day
Evaluation

A resurrection for all to be offered salvation and judged. After the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, a solemn “eighth day” assembly was held. Christians understand this as pointing to a final resurrection — when all who have ever lived will stand before God and be given their opportunity for eternal life.

Ezekiel 37:1–14 Matthew 11:20–24 Revelation 20:5, 11–12

The Goal
New Jerusalem
Eternity

Dwelling forever as God’s family — all things made new. This is where every feast, every sacrifice, every promise has been pointing. God Himself dwells with His people. There is no more death, no more pain, no more separation. The story that began in a garden ends in a city — and it never ends again.
