There is only one Gospel!

Galatians 1:6-10

"I am amazed that you are so quickly turning to a different gospel- not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to change the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, a curse be on him! As we have said before, I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!".

There is no other gospel. All the way from Genesis to Revelations, there is only one message. Believe that Jesus is who He said He was, repent for your sins, and follow Him. Why do we make salvation seem so difficult? Yes, you need to show good works, but those good works should come naturally to a child of God. We have salvation by grace, not of works, so that no one can brag about it. The sooner we get this simple truth, the sooner, I think, we will start to see a revival in out churches, and then our nation. Let's stop over complicating salvation, and let's start at the basics again.

Do you believe Jesus is who He says He is?
Do you repent, or turn away from your sins, so you will no longer be a slave to them?
Will you follow Him, wherever He may lead you?

That's it, that's the Gospel. The end, done. We don't need to add anything to it, we certainly don't need to  take anything away from it. It is just as simple as One, Two, Three.
.
How will you respond to this message God has for you? Continue to complicate things, or go back to the basics of our faith.
