the message of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ is not condemnation but forgiveness

Yes,the Gospel ("good news") is indeed the good news of forgiveness of sins by grace through faith in Christ. However, the message of condemnation and righteous judgement of those who die outside of Christ (the "bad news") must not be omitted. Otherwise, the real meaning of forgiveness is lost. Sadly, judgement and condemnation are infrequently preached in this day, to the detriment of the Church

Thank you my friend, You said it rightly! There is good news in Jesus (John 3:16-17), that is all that this post is trying to say.

Just look at the gospel as it was preached in Acts, the biblical record of the message of the gospel. There was NO CONDEMNATION in their message.

Satan condemns people every day. God has FORGIVEN and TAKEN AWAY the entire world of their sins (John 1:29, 2 Cor 5:19, 12 1 John 2:2).

It is the GOODNESS of God, not condemnation, that leads people to repentance. Using condemnation to beat people into submission is MAN’S idea, not God’s.

Personal experience does not define doctrine. However, I can say among millions including myself, that it was the love and forgiveness of Christ that brought me and others to Jesus - not condemnation. Condemnation of religion and the law just turned me off and I dare say, this generation has rejected the same in favor of the Gospel of the Grace WITHOUT the law (Rom 3:21, 3:28, 4:26) which is spreading throughout the world.
