Introduction
Conference: Going to give overview and challenge.
I once had someone explain to me how their theology had come from a hollywood movie.
There was no understanding of Jesus’ death burial and resurrection and no interest in those things.
I have sat with others who, when asked why God would let them into heaven, have looked to their church attendance, giving, or family history as reasons for their acceptance to God.
Other’s I have spoken to about the gospel of Jesus Christ have looked to their church attendance, giving, or family history
Maybe you have heard these phrases: “I’ve been a good person.”
“Well, I’ve never killed anyone!” “I think that my good works will outweigh my bad.”
Many people are walking around with a fundamental misunderstanding about what the gospel is.
They are clinging to false hope built on the lies and deceit of Satan.
There are 3 questions that lie before us today.
Brother’s and sisters
1 - What is the gospel?
2 - Have we believed it?
3 - Are we sharing it?
Conference: Centered On The Gospel.
This morning is our communion service.
Second session dealt with the false gospel taught by Roman Catholicism.
The speaker, Mike Gendron, went into great detail on the errors taught in Roman Catholicism as well as the false gospel they teach.
Third session was about unity and its necessity in the church’s ability to preach the gospel.
The final session was on the need to know what the gospel is and what it is not as well as the necessity and urgency of declaring the gospel.
It is not enough merely to define and defend the gospel, we must declare it!
The final session was on the need to know what the gospel is and what it is not as well as the necessity and urgency of declaring the gospel.
It is not enough merely to define and defend the gospel, we must declare it!
This morning is our communion service.
What we are going to do is take a little bit from each of these messages, throw it in a blender, and examine the result.
Here is what we are going to prove today:
The gospel of Jesus Christ must be defined, defended, and boldly declared.
This is necessary for three reasons.
Reason #1…
1.
The Gospel Is Being Rejected v. 6
This verse tells us some very important things.
1 - Someone is teaching the Galatians a false gospel.
- Be careful who you listen to.
2 - The Gospel is always under attack.
- Be prepared for it.
3 - Clarity on the Gospel is vital.
- When we know the truth, error is obvious.
4 - Loyalty to the Gospel must be unwavering.
- This requires steadfastness, endurance, and determination.
The tone of this verse is interesting.
Paul is marveling.
He is amazed and astonished at their swift rejection of the true gospel!
Make no mistake, this is a rejection of the gospel!
They are turning away from the true gospel to something different.
Rejection of the Gospel demands that it be defined.
What is the gospel?
Some might turn to for an answer (S).
While this verse tells us what the gospel does it fails to tell us what the gospel is.
For a definition, we turn to .
This is the gospel!
It is simple.
It is straightforward.
It is powerful.
It seems to easy.
Right?
That’s how the Galatians felt.
And so they added to the gospel.
Paul clarifies that the gospel is salvation by grace through faith apart from the law.
One particularly powerful statement is in 2:16.
When we consult Scripture, the gospel is easily defined.
We are saved by grace through faith, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else.
v. 6 Turning - Barnabas
First session, Dr. Charles Petitt, discussed Barnabas and the power that discipleship and encouragement has in the spreading of the gospel.
We have mentioned this in our study of Acts.
There would be no Paul without Barnabas!
There would also be no 3rd synoptic gospel.
The book of Mark would never have been written had Barnabas not invested in Mark.
People are turning from the true gospel.
According to this verse, this is actually a turn away from Christ!
People are turning from the true gospel.
According to this verse, this is actually a turn away from Christ!
What is needed is discipleship!
We need Barnabases to come along side and encourage the struggling saints.
We need to be involved in one another’s lives, answering doubts, concerns, and fears.
Part of this discipleship process is defining the true gospel.
Sing
“My Lord Was Emptied” (v. 1)
v. 7 Some who pervert - Catholics, hell, sanctification
In a time when the gospel is being rejected, we must be clear on what the gospel is.
This becomes even more important under reason #2…
2. The Gospel Is Being Redefined v. 7
Paul is very clear here.
The Galatians are being turned from the true gospel to something that isn’t the gospel at all!
It is a perversion.
Beloved, There are perversions of the gospel that are alive and well today.
The perversion faced by the Galatian church is still around.
There are those who teach that you must keep some form of law to be saved, to stay saved, or to prove you are saved.
tells us this (S).
We can know that we have eternal life!
But this is only true if we have believed in the true gospel.
v. 7 Some who pervert.
Second session with Mike Gendron.
Man saved out of Catholicism.
Saved b/c read his Bible.
Encouraged not to read it.
Session dealt with the false gospel taught by Roman Catholicism.
Mike Gendron went into great detail on the errors taught in Roman Catholicism as well as the false gospel they teach.
This can be a stumbling block for some.
We may know some Catholic people who seem like good people.
