A Distorted Gospel

GracePointe Church of Christ in Elizabethtown, PA

The true gospel is the story of God’s work in our world that saves and brings together every nation and tribe and people and tongue. The gospel story pleases God, and many false gospels are aimed to supplement the simple and strange good news of Jesus, and please a particular group of people. In the case of Galatia, it was a group who wanted to uphold a holy and traditional Jewish right of passage for boys. Paul urges us to watch our gospel lest it be transformed into a different gospel that prevents our relationship with God.
