The Purple Basics: Understanding the Message of the Gospel in the New Testament

The Purple Basics is the ＂prequel＂ to The Purple Book--the bestselling Bible study covering biblical foundations. The focus of this study is what has been called ＂The Gospel Creed＂

The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died . . . in our place. Three days later He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repents and believes in Him.

Millions have attended church and studied Scripture yet lament they lack confidence to share the gospel. This study will give you both the confidence and clarity to communicate this life-changing message with others. Christ’s death and resurrection provide the truth that the gospel is ＂public truth＂--that Jesus actually lived, died, and rose again from the grave.

You can spend a lifetime studying Scripture and barely scratch the surface of God’s knowledge. Yet He has communicated enough for you to know that He exists and how you can enter into a relationship with Him.
