1. The Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ

2. Missing in the introduction to the Galatians: Expressions of thanks or praise! Missing here are the expressions of thanks or praise that Paul often wrote in the beginning of his letters. Romans 1:8-15, 1 Corinthians 1:4-9, Philippians 1:3-11, Colossians 1:3-8, and 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 are each examples of Paul giving thanks and praising the churches in his opening words. But he did not do this with the Galatians and the directness of his approach indicates the severity of their problem

3. Gal. 1:6-10 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel : 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

4. To Change, Add to, Substract From it, Twist, Pervert The Gospel of Christ…. comes under! God’s condemnation

5. The Danger of Twisting the Gospel of Christ Paul expresses his amazement that they are so soon turning to a different gospel being offered by those who wish to pervert the gospel of Christ (1:6-7).

6. That is why We must be so careful just to Preach The Gospel of Christ as it has been Delivered. Jude 3 I Pet. 4:11

7. Paul An Angel From Heaven Any Man --- Condemned if we dare preach Any thing but the Gospel of Christ As it has been delivered from God!!

8. Seriousness of preaching Just God’s Truth! 2 Tim. 4:2 I Pet. 4:11 John 12:48 Rev. 22:18,19

9. Example: Gal.1:23 23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

10. “People can and will change to the truth who love it” 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

11. Paul and Many others did change!! I Tim. 1:15 Acts 2:41 Acts 2:47

12. Saved by Faith, or Saved by ‘Faith Only” What does the Gospel of Christ say? Romans 5:1-2 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Heb. 11:1; John 8:24

13. Saved by Grace or Saved by “Grace Alone” Eph. 2:8-10

14. Saved by Baptism or Saved by “Baptism Only” I Pet. 3:21 Mark 16:15-16 Acts 2:38-41

15. Saved by works or saved by ‘works alone” James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only”

16. The Truth of the Gospel of Christ: Watch the Company you keep! I Cor. 15:33 Watch the words that you speak! Matt. 12:36,37 Watch the deeds that you do! Gal. 6:7-8 God is not mocked!

17. Be faithful to the end… I Cor. 15:58 Rev. 2:10 2 Tim. 4:7,8
