The Bible calls it the "Gospel" or the "Good News". Unfortunately many preachers hit us over the head with the Bible and call that Good News. If it is the "Good News" then I have always thought it should feel like Good News, and not like a condemnation session. The Law of Moses commands and demands, but the grace of God "teaches" us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust that we should live soberly and godly in this present world. The Good News is Truth and Truth sets us free. If the gospel that is being preached to me does not set me free, then it surely is not Good News and surely must not be Truth. Jesus came to seek and to save. Jesus came to set at liberty the captives, and to give us abundant life. If more Christians made living for God joyful, then perhaps more would want to live for God. Even if there were no afterlife I would still serve the Lord, because it is the most rewarding comforting and joyful life. To put it one way a Radio Host said...The Bible is moral infra structure to life. Without it you suffer ruin. With it you inherit blessing and Eternal Life. Now which would you choose?
Be blessed.
