Gospel stamp

I just need to get something straight here:

The Gospel is meant to change the sinners, not for the sinners to change the Gospel to suit their sins (as it says on the stamp). I mean, Jesus clearly said "Repent and believe the Gospel" (Mark 1:15). Is that so hard?

I just flipping hate it when todays churches seem to even ignore this and dilute the Gospel all in the name of "not offending anybody", to the point that they won't even speak out against sin, and they even accommodate it, kicking the Truth out of the window in the process. That's just been lukewarm, and it shouldn't be that way. But this is exactly what is happening in the end times, folks. In fact 2 Timothy 4:3 says "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears". And we as Christians should be more concerned on what God has to say than what people want to hear, because it is only He that has the final say. And we should never dance to the tune of the world. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)

Some of todays pastors now say "Once saved, forever saved". Excuse me? Like, that's a lie. As Christians, we are ought to maintain our salvation. As Apostle Paul would say "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Romans 6:1-2).

I mean, come on, one cannot live in sin (be it lust, stealing, homosexuality, adultery, bestiality, fornication, divorce, murder, profanity, lying, pride, rebellion, self-indulgence, bisexuality, abortion, masturbation, rape, hypocrisy, deceit, transgender, suicide, polygamy, greed, gossip, and so on.) and serve God at the same time. Never works that way. Jesus clearly warned about serving two masters, and that we should leave one and serve the other.

Sin is what separates man away from God, and sent people to Hell, but the Good News is that there is a mediator between God and man, and that is no other than Jesus Christ the Savior of the world, who came to earth and died for your sins, my sins, and the sins of the whole world so that they can be set free from the bondage of sin.

Why? Because God's forgiveness is just as available to all, whether you are a student, a teacher, a churchgoer, a doctor, old or young, rich or poor, salvation is available to all. And God promises that if you turn from your sins and put your trust in Him like you trust a parachute, He will save you from the power and punishment of sin.. And if the person wants to go to Heaven, then the person has to repent of his/her sins, give his/her life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Lord and Savior and live a life that is holy and acceptable unto Him. John 3:16-18 says: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

And while there is no doubt that God does love people, and has given everyone the freedom to choose, that doesn't mean that He approves of sin. Serving sin and God at the same time is the worst idea anybody would make.

Its either Jesus or Satan, sin or righteousness, Heaven or Hell. Simple. There is no inbetween.
