May God open our mind and hearts to the gospel of salvation.

About This Quote

When people hear the word "gospel" they think of happy, joyous stories. They imagine the good news of the willowy Jesus who waves to everyone he meets. However, when you look at what the word actually means, it reveals something very different. The gospel is not about happiness, but about an awful lot of pain and suffering.

It is about what you don't want to think about. It's about hell and damnation. For this reason, it's also the only true hope for anyone who wants to be saved.

If your mind or heart refuses to entertain even one of these painful realities, then you cannot be saved by any other gospel than that which you reject.
