Kenyan Urban Gospel musician Timam Evans has challenged Christians to examine whether their understanding of the Gospel leaves them living in fear, insecurity, and uncertainty about God’s acceptance.
In a social media post, Evans argued that the Gospel should not leave believers constantly questioning whether they are forgiven or accepted by God.
He said a message that makes people feel they must continually appease an angry God does not reflect the meaning of the Gospel, which he described as “good news.”
“Any Gospel that leaves you insecure and uncertain, forever wondering if you are accepted or forgiven, prompting you to work on appeasing an Angry God is no gospel,” Evans wrote.
According to the musician, the Christian message should instead produce joy and freedom from fear and anxiety.
He referenced Luke 2:10, where an angel announces the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, saying, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
Evans used the scripture to emphasize his view that encountering what he considers the true Gospel should lead to genuine joy rather than a constant sense of fear.
“The spirit of the Lord is not the spirit of fear and anxiety,” he said, adding that receiving the true Gospel should result in “true joy.”
