Overview
"Church attendance is declining rapidly for most churches in Western countries, especially for young adults. In the Adventist church, for example, between 1965 and 2022 nearly 43.7 million people joined, while 18.5 million (42.5%) chose to leave, two-thirds of whom were young adults. A recent global survey reveals that three-quarters of members don't know that salvation is a free gift of God's grace. Two thirds believe they will not get to heaven unless they obey God's law perfectly. Is this the struggle going on in your mind? Are you fearful that you will not be good enough to go to heaven? If today was your last day alive, are you sure you would go to heaven when Jesus returns? Barna research reveals that most churches present a predominantly legalistic gospel that young people see as a checklist of do's and don'ts, Is this your understanding of the gospel-a list of do's and don'ts? Could this be the reason why so many are leaving the church? If you're discouraged by thinking you have to reach a certain level of perfection before you are ready for heaven, then this book is for you. Co-founder of the Adventist church Ellen White, encouragingly says, ""I need not remain a moment longer unsaved. . . . [Jesus] will save me now."" This book is a contemporary guide to the good news of how the gospel makes this possible. Reader, beware-reading this book could change your life forever! Get ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime!"
