¶ … Christian Gospel
In reference to the World View, answer the following questions from the Bible and the Gospels: What are some specific emotional reasons people may reject the Christian Gospel?
What are some ways the Christian Gospel is perceived in our culture?
Our culture perceives the gospel just like everything else that it comes into contact with; it is twisted from what is true. The work of Satan has invaded many areas, for instance, education and the media and this has allowed more alteration of the correct gospel. The gospel clearly indicates that some people will not see the gospel properly as stated in Romans 11:8 and 2nd Corinthians 4:4. Due to this Believers are not properly understood and therefore people expect us to be flawless if the Bible is really correct about us.[footnoteRef:1] [1: "Basic Gospel Questions for Christians." 2016.

What are some specific moral reasons people may reject the Christian Gospel?
The gospel is rejected by people, because they are not willing to halt whatever they are up to, they are simply participating in what is considered socially and culturally acceptable by the world, they don't see anything erroneous with the manner they live. Looking at it today, people mainly do anything they feel like doing, they satisfy the flesh and egotistically search for what they need and want. Unfortunately, no one has been such decent instances of our God's forgiveness, unity and compassion due to the self-perpetrated wounding that we inflict on one another in the body of Jesus Christ.[footnoteRef:2] [2: Michelle, Ragland, "The Gospel Message." 2016.

People would emotionally deny the Christian gospel due to the fact that they are not willing to confess that they are sinners who need saving. Generally, people dislike admitting that they are not right in the way that they are thinking. In Acts chapter two when apostle Peter was evangelizing to the fervent Jews assembled for Pentecost, Peter informed them that the person they crucified was the Messiah and that it was required of them to repent and the gospel states -- they were upset. But all of them (3000 in number) made a decision to follow Jesus and to get baptized.[footnoteRef:3] [3: Ibid ]
4. What are some specific intellectual reasons people may reject the Christian Gospel?
People have queries of whether Christ even lived or whether Jesus was the person he claimed he was? resurrecting? dying for our sins? The Messiah's prophecy begins in the book of genesis and concludes in Revelation on the coming of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Nevertheless, people have a problem believing that Christ naturally rose from the deceased, but this is simply because none of them understands the supernatural abilities of the creator God. Most of time people are not willing to believe things that they aren't able to touch or see; this is why many people are worshiping idols.[footnoteRef:4] [4: Ibid]
5. What can Christians do to address these objections and better communicate the Christian Gospel?
With compassion and love of Jesus, Christians can better pass the message contained in the gospel by how we behavior. We must let the Divine or Holy Spirit in our lives and allow it to correct us and mold our character in order to demonstrate the power, love, forgiveness, humility and compassion of Christ. The bible informs the wife to have holy conduct if the husband hasn't been saved,…

Furthermore it is with Isaiah that one first becomes acquainted with the idea that the Messiah would die. "And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth." The passage clearly predicts a Messianic figure who dies, in order to bring peace to the multitudes. "Out of the anguish of his
v. 9) I am the good shepherd" (10:11, 14) I am the resurrection and the life" (11:25) I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (14:6) I am the true vine" (15:1; cf. v. 5) It was John's responsibility to teach Christians that they can have eternal life. There was an order of the way that John taught: In Chapter One, Versus 1-4 John saw the proofs that Jesus was the son of God;
Jesus Christ Is the Central Figure of Christianity Who Was Born in Bethlehem, Judea sometime between 8 BC and 29 AD. The name "Jesus" is derived from a Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Joshua, while "Christ" is the Greek translation of the Hebrew mashiakh or Messiah, which was a title that was later made part of Jesus' proper name. Christians traditionally believe that Jesus is the incarnate Son of God,
" In this instance, the word revelation means "the communication of the knowledge of God" or "God's disclosure to humanity of Himself" (Baixeras, Internet). Therefore, if God had to reveal to Jesus His own knowledge, this indicates that Jesus was not an omniscient being, for as a prophet, his own revelations to common, ordinary men and women were made possible via some form of communication with God the Father. In conclusion,
Jesus Christ is an inextricable part of my life. I have been a Christian all my life. Being raised in a Christian community has ensured that my faith does not waiver. The support of others in a community of Christians is a core component of the Bible. "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them," (Matthew 18:20)." Because of my community of
Salvation Many people define salvation as deliverance, and the Bible looks at it from a physical and spiritual point-of-view. In Exodus 14:13, the Bible states "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he accomplishes for you." Here, God is talking about the physical deliverance of the people of Israel from Egyptian armies. Also, Hebrews 2:3 it is the liberation of individuals from the penalty
