THE GOSPEL part 3
Greetings. Last week we read in Galatians 1: 6-9 that there is only one Gospel, and that the reason there seems to be many gospels is because many teachers, (preachers) have perverted the Gospel of Christ to confuse the people.
Paul the Apostle also tells us that if anyone comes to us with a different, a perverted gospel, not to receive him and to let him be accursed. this word accursed is a very heavy word, it means to be: Dislike, detested, abominable, and despicable, yes, that is how Paul says to consider a person or the gospel he speaks if it is not the true and genuine Gospel.
Here is the big question now, How can one identify a perverted gospel? Well in order to identify a counterfeit bill one must know very well the real, genuine, and authentic bill. It is the same with the Gospel, one must know very well the real, genuine, and authentic Gospel to be able to detect the fake, perverted, and counterfeit gospel.
Let us consider two Bible texts; one in Matthew 24: 14 Jesus said "And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come". He calls it "The Gospel of the Kingdom". Two, Revelation 14: 6-7 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the Everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgement is come: and worship him that made the heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters". Here John the Apostle calls it "The Everlasting Gospel.
