The Gospel is a message of grace, and it is filled with truth. To have truth implies that there is falsehood, and often we carry that within us. Because the Gospel is loving, it confronts us in our falsehoods, and it is gracious yet firm in insisting that we cling to Christ and to Christ alone. To keep one foot firmly planted in a lie is to fail to commit to the Gospel. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where we are. When we turn to Christ, we are called to turn away from other things, even things that are often hard to turn away from. Fortunately, Christ knows our challenges and loves us through them, continuing to send the Holy Spirit to transform us.
