Why is it so hard to accept the Gospel as is? Christ came fulfilling all OT prophecies, died on the cross, rose from the dead. You believe and accept his sacrifice in your place by confessing him as your Lord and you are a new creation, declared righteous by faith. No church, denomination, cult or sect can accomplish this spiritual rebirth for you.

There is not another revelation needed. The message is simple and perfect. You cannot earn your way to heaven either through being a martyr, wearing special clothes or following any religious dictates or dogma. God did all the work for you.

Accept it and rejoice in His love and the Christian liberty Jesus won for you. Heed the warning in Revelation 22 - Do not add anything to the Gospel.
