why do we need the gospel?

This is why we need the Gospel:

Because we were all created to worship something or someone.

Because of the loneliness that comes when the party is over.

Because of the sin that has infested our very being.

Because there are eternal consequences to every action.

Because love is a relationship, not an accomplishment.

Because our minds cannot comprehend the eternal and thus live in the carnal.

Because children fail parents and parents fail children.

Because men and women forsake the wife or husband of their youth.

Because we always fall short.

Because the god of this world – money, power, beauty – is a thief and a liar.

Because Jesus is coming back soon to judge the world and gather his beloved.

Because we can call the God of the universe Abba / Daddy.

Because the way to salvation is only by grace.

Because our souls cannot rest until they find rest in God alone.
