If I remember my Scriptures, Good News is what it's all about. I like what I find there. It's comforting.

The Gospel is the answer to the Law. The Law condemns, the Gospel invites those under condemnation to turn away from themselves, sin, and the like, and turn towards God.
A good deal of people are turned off--and apostatize!--as a result of a church body or sect cramming nothing but Law down their throats. Most of these are "Protestant" bodies, by the way, commiting the very same sin that they accuse the Roman Catholic Church of doing, i.e., works based salvation.
