	Christianity and history

The evangel is the Gospel, or good news, of Christianity. Evangelial means pertaining to the Gospel; one who is devoted to the good news, or "evangel," of god's redemption in Jesus Christ. Evangelical Christians are committed to the inspired scriptures as the divine rule of faith and practice. They affirm the fundamental doctrines of the gospel, including the incarnation, virgin birth of Christ, his sinless life, substitutionary atonement, and bodily resurrection as the grounds of god's forgiveness of sinners, justification by faith alone, and the spiritual regeneration of all who trust in Jesus Christ.
