Embraced by the Gospel

What has your experience with God and the gospel really been like? Has it looked like continual acceptance of a new way in which you are deeply loved, accepted, and chosen, including—not excluding—all the broken pieces that once condemned you? OR, has it looked like a rivalry between trying to convince yourself of your worth and God’s goodness and the fact that you’ve been told—endlessly—that you are just a sinner? We need to be embraced by the true, orthodox, and original gospel.
