Acts 13:26-52, Galatians 1:1-10
One of the highest virtues of our culture is tolerance. Trying to find the lowest common denominator to try and get along. Often the pursuit of truth is set aside to accomodate the personal feelings of others.
The truth of the gospel is unchanging. There is only one gospel. It can’t be added to or taken away from to make it more palatable to the hearer.
The Apostle Paul and his co workers write to the Galatians to remind them of the true gospel. He is astonished that they are so quickly deserting the only one who can save them; turning to a distorted gospel.
Sometimes we don’t feel guilty even though we are. We are all legally guilty before God because of the sins we have committed against him.
We are only justified through Christ alone who gave himself to deliver us, according to the will of our God and Father.
Why do we continually try to add to Christ’s finished work by selectively reintroducing and trying to obey parts of the old Mosaic law?
Are we slaves to Christ or are we simply trying to please others through an outward display of morality?
It is so important to understand and live out the true gospel, because this is how we will honour our Lord and Saviour and truly be more loving to others in our culture.
