The
Gospel Of Christ
I am astonished that
you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of
Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all.
Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert
the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a
gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As
we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a
gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
Am I now trying to win
the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I
were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians
1:6-10
Why are there signs
telling us the moving walkways at airports are about to end? To protect us from
getting injured.
The apostle Paul was
also concerned. He used Galatians to do that. Paul warned them not to listen to,
nor believe, him or any other angel from heaven if they preached, “any other
gospel.”
The gospel of Jesus –
His death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins – is the story
that we have the privilege and responsibility to share. When we present the
gospel, let’s share that the risen Jesus is the only solution to the problem of
sin.
There
is only one road which leads to heaven – Jesus Christ is the way.
