There is One Gospel

"There Is One Gospel" is a modern hymn by Jonny Robinson and Rich Thompson, written to clearly articulate the core message of the Christian faith for contemporary congregations. Robinson and Thompson are Australian songwriters associated with CityAlight, a worship ministry that has become known for producing hymns with precise doctrinal content set to accessible melodies. This hymn systematically walks through the essential elements of the gospel — humanity's sinfulness, Christ's substitutionary death, His victorious resurrection, and the call to repentance and faith. Its structure echoes the apostle Paul's summary of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 and the Reformation cry of solus Christus — Christ alone. The writers intentionally made each verse build on the previous one, creating a cumulative declaration that leaves no ambiguity about the exclusive sufficiency of Christ's work. In a worship landscape sometimes criticized for vagueness, this hymn stands as a refreshingly clear and unapologetic proclamation of the one gospel that saves.
