“For [Joel] Osteen, the good news is that on judgment day God will look at our heart. According to the Scriptures, that is actually bad news. The good news is that for all who are in Christ, God looks at the heart, life, death, and resurrection of his Son and declares us righteous in Him. It is not a cheap gift, but is a free gift.” (Emphasis added)
