Hey Family,
Have you ever tried to share the gospel with someone, only to realise how misunderstood Christianity can seem?
For many, it’s seen as nothing more than a list of rules, do’s and don’ts, or some kind of mythical story made up long ago. But the heart of the gospel is far simpler - and far more beautiful - than that.
The gospel is not about religion or restriction.
Think about love.
In a marriage, the focus is never on what can no longer be done. Of course, there are things that naturally change - you don’t go chasing after other girls or guys, you don’t flirt on the side, you don’t look for love elsewhere. But those things are not the focus. The focus is the person - the joy of being with the one who is loved.
Christianity is like this. Yes, there are things Jesus calls us into, and at first they can sound like a list of “can’t do’s.” Don’t get drunk. Don’t live in sexual immorality. Don’t swear. Don’t isolate yourself, but instead be part of the church and live in community.
But these are not burdens or restrictions to obsess over. They flow naturally out of love. Christianity is not a story of loss, but of love. It is about choosing to walk with Jesus, to delight in Him, and to discover life as it was meant to be lived.
At the very foundation of faith is this simple truth:
Jesus died for us.
Jesus loves us.
Through Him, we have life.
That is the good news. That is the gospel.
And as a community, we want to walk in this together.
Beginning next week, the format of our weekly newsletter will change. Three voices will begin sharing in rotation, bringing reflections from their own journeys of faith. Our hope is that these perspectives make this space more personal and engaging - a way to do life together as we seek Jesus.
With love,
The Luvv God Team
