Easy-believism (what is the Gospel all about?)

Easy-believism

Today, people tend to take salvation lightly. People believed and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour but some event have no spiritual commitment, no resulting change in lifestyle, not even a willingness to yield to Christ Lordship and there need be no turning back of sin. They have misunderstood, teach and hold the wrong view of the gospel.

Some people who claims to be "christian" but there's untouchable life that change in them. Many Christians insist such people they are "so called born again" and embraced them by the churches as true believers of God.

Contemporary Christian

They believed that they have recited a prayer, signed on a dotted line, walk an aisle or had some experience and they are saved should never question their salvation. But when they are taught to tell "converts" they doubt about their salvation is satanic and should be dismissed.

The Gospel

The gospel Jesus proclaimed was a call of discipleship, a call to follow Him in submissive obedience. Jesus message liberated people from the bondage of sin while it confronted and condemned hypocrisy. It was an offer of eternal life and forgiveness for repentant sinners, but at the same time it was a rebuke to outwardly religious people whose lives were devoid of true righteousness. It put sinners on notice that they must turn from sin to embrace God's righteousness. Not just a plea to make a decision or pray a prayer.

Accepted?

To accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, is not just using your mind to accept His truth but your Heart must be open to ask Jesus to come into our life. You can't accept Him as your personal Lord OR Saviour but BOTH LORD AND SAVIOUR of your life. Jesus saved us once and for all by dying on the cross for you and my sins. He even redeem us out of darkness and out of the slavery of sin. He is both God and Man, not merely man or God. Give thanks to God for who He is and what He had done for us.
