Galatians
The Good News of Freedom
Galatians 1:6-12
In people’s sincere efforts to translate the gospel into something we can understand, sometimes things get lost in the translation.
You see, false teachers were coming after the Apostle Paul and claiming to preach the same Gospel he did. But Paul makes it very clear, “They are preaching a different gospel.”
We are all part of the problem, but there is only one man who is the solution. His name is Jesus.
False teachers distort the good news. They twist the truth, and it confuses people.
Any time anybody adds anything to faith as a requirement for God’s acceptance, then all kinds of red flags should go up.
As people engage in practices and embrace ideas that are spiritually poisonous, they think it is making them more spiritual.
All we have to do is trust Christ. All we have to do is commit our lives to Him.
Faith, and faith alone, sets us free.
Christ died for our sins. Christ rose again. All we need to do is trust Him. That’s the simple Gospel that comes from God Himself.
