 This is what breaks my heart about the modern church. The reality is that millions of people that call themselves Christians have never truly understood the gospel or maybe have never even heard the gospel before. Maybe you're one of them, so stay with me. The gospel is about God and His glory. He created us to image Him to show off His glory to all creation. But we rebelled and dove headfirst into sin, laying dead in our trespasses and sins. The good news is that God sent His Son Jesus, fully God and fully man, to live the sinless life that we couldn't live and to die on the cross, the death we deserve to die for our sins against God. And He rose again on the third day, defeating sin and death. That we wouldn't have to suffer the punishment of eternity in hell. That through His atoning work, we can be clothed in Jesus' righteousness and are invited to become heirs with Christ, children of God. This is a gift from God, not of work. So it's not about trying to be a good person or cleaning up your act. It's about repenting for your sin and putting your faith in Jesus. Ask Him to save you and He will.
