Havewe been preaching a Gospel that promises happiness while forgettingto warn people about sin, judgment, and their desperate need for aSavior? Somewhere along the way, modern Christianity began presentingJesus Christ as the answer to every earthly problem. We're told thatcoming to Jesus will bring happiness, prosperity, success, and atrouble-free life. But is that the Gospel Jesus and His apostles actually preached? In this powerful message from Sermons in the Park,Rev. Jamie McCaskill examines one of the most neglected truths inmodern evangelism: Before we can truly appreciate the GoodNews of Jesus Christ, we must understand the bad news about oursinful condition. Inspired by Ray Comfort's groundbreaking teaching Hell's BestKept Secret, this sermon explores the biblical purpose of God'sLaw, the danger of false conversions, and why the Ten Commandmentsremain such a powerful tool for pointing sinners toward the cross. You'll also hear a deeply personal testimony from my ownministry. While demonstrating Ray Comfort's method of evangelism to a youngman, something happened that I never expected. I was so focused onexplaining the method that I didn't realize the young man was takingthe questions to heart. When I finally noticed what was happening, he was crying andweakly begging me: "Help me." What followed was an opportunity to share the life-changing Gospelof Jesus Christ. That young man later entered drug rehabilitation,and today he's doing better, married, and raising a baby. It's a moment I have never forgotten. And it reminds us of something important: We cannot save anybodythrough our own abilities, clever arguments, or evangelismtechniques. Only Jesus Christ can save a sinner! In this sermon, we'll examine: Romans 3:23 (KJV) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 5:8 (KJV) "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while wewere yet sinners, Christ died for us." Galatians 3:24 (KJV) "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us untoChrist, that we might be justified by faith." Folks, the Gospel is not a self-improvement program. It is theglorious announcement that Jesus Christ died for our sins, wasburied, and rose again on the third day! We broke God's Law, but Jesus paid the price we could never pay. And that is why salvation is not something we earn through goodworks, religious traditions, or church attendance. It is God's giftof grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ. The Law shows us our sin. The cross shows us God's love.And Jesus Christ is the only One who can save us! 📖 SCRIPTURES REFERENCED (KJV): Romans 3:19–24 | Romans 5:8 | Galatians 3:24 | Matthew 5:20, 28| Matthew 7:21–23 | Luke 18:9–23 | John 16:33 | 1 John 1:7 | 1John 3:15 | 2 Timothy 3:12 | Romans 8:18 | Matthew 1:21 | 2Corinthians 5:21 | 1 Peter 3:18 | 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 | 2Corinthians 13:5 | Acts 17:30 | Romans 10:9 | Hebrews 9:27 🙏 SUPPORT SERMONS IN THE PARK If this message encouraged you or challenged you, please: 👍 LIKE this video to help others discover the message. 💬 COMMENT below: Why do you believe the Ten Commandments areimportant when sharing the Gospel? 🔔 SUBSCRIBE and join me each Sunday for more KJV Biblepreaching, biblical teaching, and Christian apologetics. 📤 SHARE this sermon with someone who needs to hear the truthabout salvation through Jesus Christ.
