Instead of emphasizing their sinful behavior, sugar coating the Bible only de-emphasizes their sinful behavior. Instead of showing a sinner their need for Christ, sugar coating the Bible only makes them feel better about themselves. When we sugarcoat the Gospel, all we’re doing is playing with eternity, because telling people what they want to hear does them no good. In other words, Don’t Sugar Coat the Gospel! Don’t avoid the truth by trying to “sell” God instead of preaching His Word. Don’t simply tell people what they want to hear because you’re afraid to offend them. And that’s what today’s message is about.

And if you tell someone only half the Gospel, you’re endangering their eternity. Think of building a house we don’t see a half-built house and say, “Welp, time to move it.” You give someone only half of a recipe, it’s still no good. At work, if a co-worker only provides half of the instructions, your boss will still be mad because only half of the work is done. Last week, we learned that truth is not a half-truth.
