How do we know that the gospel is not just a hard way to get to God?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is not a hard way to get to God because it rests on Christ's fulfillment of the law, offering freedom and grace instead of condemnation.

The gospel message is characterized by the truth found in Romans 8:1, which declares, 'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' This emphasizes that believers are not under the law's condemnation because Christ has fulfilled the law's demands on our behalf. The gospel stands apart from any hard effort to reach God; it is about recognizing our inability and relying completely on Christ's merit. This understanding reassures believers that they are accepted by God not through their works but through faith in Jesus, where rest from the burdensome law is found.
