7 Things We Commonly Misunderstand about the Gospel
“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The gospel. It is an incredibly powerful word with incredible depth – at least for those who truly believe. But we might all agree that there are also a great many on the fringes who don’t really understand what “the gospel” means or what it is truly all about. This might be especially true today, as more and more people seem to abandon church, while others distort the message of the gospel.
The gospel is nothing more and nothing less than the good news of Jesus Christ. His life, death and resurrection are all encompassed into one word. It is the absolute foundation of our faith, yet, even among those who call themselves Christian, many fail to grow in their relationship with the One who is their Savior. Life is simply too busy to keep up daily habits of reading the Word of God and prayer – all steps to building and maintaining our faith. As a result, many Christians do not truly understand the depth of the message or choose to accept what they have heard.
So yes, there are a few things about the gospel message that seem to be misunderstood – or perhaps not understood at all.
