Another Gospel
THE GATE
I have heard two other gospels preached in America. This scares me. One is
a gospel that “Jesus will make your life better if you come to him”. This is not
in the word! As a matter of fact, usually things get worse because satan is
now battling people. This gospel has caused many to be swept into hell.
Remember, we must keep the foundation the early church laid and not build
on another. With this gospel a heathen that smokes weed, sleeps around
every weekend, and makes good money will say “Cool, Jesus will make
things even better for me.” Well, he will then come down to the altar and ask
Jesus into his life, but the motive of his heart is wrong. He needs to be con­
victed by the Holy Spirit and realize he is a sinner that needs a savior. Then
he needs to get the sin out of his life, if he is going to have Christ. You can’t
have Jesus and your sin.
The other gospel I have heard is this crazy notion “that you can live in sin,
play games with God, and because you call yourself a Christian you will
make heaven.” America has believed this foolishness that God is sooooo
passive, and understands our sin. That is not the word of God! Jesus said,
“Repent, or you too will perish!” (Luke 13:1­9) These other gospels are pow­
erless to change lives, because they are not the true gospel that is the
“Power of God unto salvation”. The true gospel is, we are sinners that are
going to hell if we don’t accept the price Jesus paid for us on the cross. Then
we must turn away from our sin and follow Jesus with all our hearts to the
end, even if it costs us our lives. People have to realize they are sinners and
going to hell before they can truly accept Jesus’ sacrifice. Otherwise the
gospel won’t make sense to them.
Helping people understand they are sinners
There was a sign that said, “If Jesus is the answer, what is the question?”
See people don’t understand they are sinners. I talk to people all the time on
the streets about Jesus. Most of them will say things like “I am a good per­
son. God wouldn’t send me to hell.” So I then use the Ten Commandments
to help them out. I start asking them: Have you ever lied, or stolen anything?
Have you ever looked lustfully upon a woman? Jesus said that is adultery.
Have you ever hated someone from your heart? Jesus said that is murder.
Have you ever wanted (coveted) what someone else had? Have you ever
put something as more important in your life than God? That is an idol to
you. Have you ever not been going to church the way you should be? Then
you haven’t kept the Sabbath. Have you ever dishonored your mom or dad?
Have you ever used God’s name as a cuss word? This is blasphemy and
very serious. Then I proceed to ask them. Now that you have done all these
things are you guilty or innocent of sin before God. They will usually admit
they are sinners. Then I will ask them “will God send you to heaven or hell.”
Most will admit hell will be where they are heading. Now, I can explain to
them the good news that Jesus died so their sin can be forgiven. Like soap
