God's Approval

 

 

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!

 

Am I now seeking human approval, or God's approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

 

For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

 

Galatians 1:6-12

 

There is no different gospel we should be concerned with, except Christianity. Watch out for all the false teachings, and compare them to what you have learned in the Bible. There is no salvation through anything other than faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. You will not go to heaven if you refuse to see Jesus as the eternal God in the flesh, and He is our only Savior. Do not give more importance to the word of man than you do to the Word of God. Be careful of leaders who do not provide Christlike guidance through careful biblical instruction.

 

There are those who want to lead you into another gospel.

Learn God's Word, so you won't be deceived.

 

Apply yourself to the Scriptures

and the Scriptures to yourself.
