The gospel is often misconstrued as the pacifistic commentary on how to live a good life. Nothing could be further from the Truth. When a man or women is presented with the gospel, they either accept it and are broken because of the revelation of their wickedness in comparison to the Holy Yahweh, or they reject it and continue down a path having no relationship with God. A person that has no relationship with God in this life, will continue to have no relationship with him in the next.
