The Other Gospel

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

(Gal.1:6-9)

Paul also tells us in 2 Cor. 11:4 that along with this “other gospel,” there is “another Jesus” and “another spirit.” Satan is a great imitator; therefore, we should not marvel that “the god of this world” transforms himself into an “angel of light.”  And that it is“...no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness."

The main difference between the “perverted” gospel, and the true gospel, is found in two small words, “do” and “done.” No matter how angelic the countenance may appear, or godly and righteous the outward life, if anything is added to the finished work of Christ, they’re as twisted and perverted as a pedophile. Yea, even more so!

If, perchance, you believe this “other” gospel, then what you have is a “make-believe belief!” You’re childishly pretending. It’s time for some to grow-up.

Jesus Christ did not suffer, bleed, die, and endure the eternal pains of hell, so that a “worm” can boast of his or her good works. We work from the cross, not to the cross. We work, not in order to be saved, but because we are saved. We are saved by grace unto good works. Paul plainly tells us if salvation is by works, then it is no more of grace. And if it is by grace, it is no more of works. Works just won’t work! “By GRACE Are Ye Saved.”

Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's commands;

could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
