Romans 2:4 (KJV) - Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?GOODNESS OF GOD: It’s the goodness of God that keeps you alive so that you can hear the gospel. The Gospel is that Jesus saves: (1 Corinthian 15:1-4) - He died for you, was buried but death had no power over him and then He arose again: The Death, Burial and Resurrection is the Gospel of Grace. The gospel is never about what you can 'do', but what the Son of God, Jesus Christ, did at Calvary. False Gospel #1: I’m a good person and my goodness will outweigh my bad. False Gospel #2: My church rituals will save me. Rituals are man’s inventions to give you a sense of worship. Only believers can worship. False Gospel #3: My church can save me. Your church is a structure. A structure can’t save. Your church leadership is of man, they can’t save. God’s Church is composed of saved people not people trying to secure God's favor to 'be' saved.TRUE GOSPEL:Romans 3:20 (KJV) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.Romans 3:24 (KJV) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:Romans 3:28 (KJV) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.Romans 5:1 (KJV) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
