We’ve misrepresented the gospel for too long by diminishing it to sin vs. no sin. We’ve told people they get the grand prize of exchanging the sin they love for holiness, something not all that enticing to hearers when it doesn’t promise to feed their soul in the ways they’re used to.
What if we told them the whole story, the real grand prize – that they get the fathering of God, the mothering of the Holy Spirit, and the brother-ing /friendship of Jesus?
Not only that, they get to be one with him.
Not only that, they get to think his thoughts and take on his nature of love and wholeness?
That’s what Jesus said he came for (John 17). That’s what we should highlight – we get to be one with all the beauty of love.
