The gospel is the only solution to the eternal judgment we all face. It alone offers eternal life and the power to be transformed into the image of Christ.
Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."
— John 14:6 (NASB)
As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Jesus and asked when He would return and what would be the sign of His coming and the end of the age. Jesus then outlined those signs* saying that when all the signs were evident and increasing simultaneously**, His physical return—the second coming—would be near, even at the door! Look around—all those signs are present now!
