Question: I am not a Christian, but I am wrestling with the claims of the gospel. At the same time, I recently lost a loved one who made it known they were not a Christian. I realize that if I accept the gospel  am accepting the condemnation of my loved one. It is hard to see the gospel  as “good news” in light of that. What would you say to me?
