The Gospel Message - Coursework Example

Full The Christian Ways Some people perceive the Christian gospel as ridiculous, noting that Jesus cannot surely save people through the way He died. Some say He is just one among the many ways to heaven. Others claim that God is good so no matter what they do, they will go to heaven because God loves them. However, there are also others who honestly seek the truth and end up believing and accepting the gospel once they understand it. Some moral reasons why people reject the Christian gospel are sexual perverseness, debauchery, orgies, drunkenness and other sins that people want to enjoy.

Although they know that the things they are doing are wrong, they choose to satisfy their desires and this makes them reject the gospel. One emotional reason why people reject the gospel is being unworthy of God’s love because they have sinned too much and should not be forgiven. Some are just too proud to acknowledge their sins and humble before God. Others have been hurt so deeply they would not like to forgive and so they reject the gospel because they know they that if they turn their hearts to God, they must forgive.

People argue that the gospel does not answer all life’s questions the way science does. Some question the validity of the stories in the Bible. Others question God’s attributes. For instance they ask, “If God is good, why is there hell?” or “If God is almighty, why is there chaos and hardship?” Christians should have a good grasp of the gospel so that they will be able to point out the specific verses that answer specific arguments. In addition, they should be sure of their convictions so that they can use their own personal experiences or encounter with God to convince others like Paul did.
