The various beliefs regarding the gospel message in our culture can be categorized as receiving salvation by human believers of God by God’s grace, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and love (Weider, 2021); and receiving salvation by human believers of God by doing service to God and other human beings along with developing faith in Jesus Christ. Another belief is that repenting by human believers and developing faith in the gospel can give surety to them to receive salvation (Weider, 2021). Non-Christians do not accept Christ as Savior because of lack of proper and complete comprehension of the Bible. There can be lack of interest of non-Christians to read the Bible because of interest shown by them to read the other religious texts of other religions more.
