The way of the Lord, salvation from the wrath of -God, is repentance and faith that brings forth good fruit. There is no excuse that will take the axe from the root of the tree other than the Person and work of Christ Jesus. Hell is real, the wrath of God is sure, removal of that wrath is impossible for any person on their own, repentance and faith in Jesus Christ is every person's only hope. This is the Gospel we are to proclaim as there is no other Gospel that can save.
