'Side-effects' of the false gospel

What side-effects does a person living under the false 'gospel' experience?  Religious duty and the constant pressure to be more spiritual and sin less comes with long-term adverse consequences.    [By the way, a Christian doesn't sin less by becoming obsessed with sinning less.]

SIDE EFFECTS:

  • Spiritual pressure to measure up to expectations.
  • ,
  • Spiritual heaviness.
  • ,
  • You suspect God, is in fact, not really pleased with you.

  • You're constantly being asked by leadership to be more committed.

  • Every message is about getting you to do something, or to stop doing something.

  • The leadership is more concerned with managing people's sin than releasing a new life that is now within them.

  • No one ever talks about the heart, and when they do, it is with suspicion -- even in the case of the believer.
