The Rescue from Despair

Despair over never being good enough drives much of the sin in the world, as many people feel hopeless due to their imperfections. The message of the gospel centers on Christ, who was good enough to bear the sins of humanity. By resting in Him, individuals are freed from the weight of despair and the belief that they must earn their righteousness. The assurance of Christ's righteousness provides hope and a path to justification, encouraging people to reject the notion that they must achieve a high standard of goodness to be saved.
