THE RIGHT STUFF !!

"The Christians in Galatia had understood Paul’s preaching of salvation by the grace of God alone, but they were now being influenced by teachers who were telling them that they had to maintain their relationship with God by obedience to his laws. Paul doesn’t pull any punches. “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all.

Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let that person be under God’s curse!” (Galatians1:6-8).

Notice his statement that turning away from trusting in grace to a gospel based on our acceptance by obedience to law is not just a distortion of the gospel. It is “a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all.” He also describes it as a desertion from “the one who called you” — deserting God himself. He then calls down a curse on those who teach such things. Obviously, this is a matter of no small importance!"

INTERESTING, DON'T YOU THINK...YOU CAN UNDERSTAND GRACE AND STILL BE INFLUENCED BY LAW PREACHERS...BUT...DON'T BE PARANOID, JUST KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT STUFF...
