Galatians 1

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel” (6). Anything that perverts the truth about Jesus is “no gospel at all” (7), Paul told the Galatians. The good news (gospel) is about the Savior “who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age” (4), not our own efforts, rules, or background. Paul warned against listening to false gospels which bring confusion (7-9).

Human gospels feed our pride and lead us to look down on others, but we live “in the grace of Christ” when we trust in what He has done for us.
