The Gospel And Another Gospel
Greetings brothers and sisters grace and peace to you in the name Of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit. I thank God for giving to me this wonderful opportunity to share with you His word concerning another Gospel. Lord please guide and direct my thoughts as I divide your word to your people and even those who presently are not your people because they don’t know Jesus. Lord let your word give them new life today.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed (Gal 1:3-9).
The Gospel is the good news from God to man, and for man. It is good news because it offer to us what we need, grace-God’s undeserved favor and not what we deserve-condemnation. The “good news,” εὐαγγέλιον, is for all (John 1:12; 3:16; 1 Tim. 4:10; 1 John 2:2). Christ offers His grace not as a mere man but also as an equal with God. Look at Gal 1:3, Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. He is not presented as Savior only but also as Lord. If He cannot be received as Lord neither can He be received as Savior. Its good news because when we receive the grace that comes from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ it gives us peace. It gives us a peace that transcends all understanding. We experience reconciliation, Our relationship with God is restored.
The Gospel signifies what Christ has done for us. As a gift Christ gave himself for our sin. His gift was both voluntary and undeserved. We cannot receive it until we confess our sinfulness and go to Christ for salvation (Matt. 3:2; Rom. 3:23; 1 John 1:9) (Acts 2:38; Rom. 10:9, 10). When we trust Him He deliver us from this present evil world. Christ literally rescues us even though we still live presently in this world, Christ removes its evil influence from us.
The Imposter, the false gospel is any teaching about Christ that denies the following basic facts is another gospel. Christ died for our sin according to the scriptures (1Cor 15:3). He was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures (1Cor 15:4). Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ (1John 2:22). Jesus must not be believed in in his humanity only. You must believe He is the God Man. Any belief that suggest that you can work or earn your way to heaven is a false gospel. You cannot earn your salvation neither can you by it. nor can you do work that is good enough for you earn your salvation. By faith we receive what Christ has done for us as a gracious gift (Rom. 5:1; 10:17; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8, 9). Finally a gospel that doesn’t effect change in a person’s life is another different type gospel. there must be a transformation in the life of someone who believes the gospel or it is not the gospel at all. a believer in the true gospel becomes alienated from the world.
My friends the true gospel is that God sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins, if we believe in Him we will not perish but we will have ever lasting life, and a restored relationship with God. All you have to do is believe. Jesus did it all. Do you believe? Let me know. Blog my post. Thank you friends, and thank
