Galatians 1:8-9. “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.”
ANY OTHER GOSPEL.
The message must never change, no matter if an angel came preaching another gospel.
The curse is pronounced twice, on those that go beyond, or contrary to the Gospel.
There is a solemn responsibility on everyone that announces God’s good news;
I must never lose sight that this is God’s good news, not my own thoughts or ideas.
Thousands preach the law without the least idea they are putting themselves under a terrible curse.
There are those today who hold high positions that are under a curse because they preach another gospel.
The wicked work in Galatia must have been done by some man of distinction because he is compared to
Paul.
Christianity with anything added to the Gospel is false good news – a person who adds to it is cursed.
The Holy Spirit gives this warning in the strongest possible words – accursed.
Satan himself is changed into an angel of light – and is accursed.
If a person believes the lies of Satan – that person is accursed.
There is no good news besides or beyond the good news that God has given to us.
God’s Good News stands alone. The danger had come in among them before.
The Galatians had been warned before – and had not taken warning.
“Holy Father, as I read these words, I am seriously solemnized by the fact that twice this curse was repeated. How far people can go under the wrong influence! May I never lose sight of the importance of obeying the word of God and the teaching I have received from those I trust! In the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, Amen.”
