\"letter-to-the-galatians\"<\/a>There is power in the gospel!\u00a0 Paul\u2019s testimony is that the gospel of Jesus Christ saves and transforms people.\u00a0 The gospel is the good news of Christ\u2019 death, burial and resurrection.\u00a0 It is good news because the gospel is for those lost in the darkness of sin.\u00a0 The gospel is that amazing light that shows us our sin and our need for redemption.\u00a0 Once the light is seen, repentance and acceptance of Christ\u2019 sacrifice for our sins happens.\u00a0 Paul was excited about this gospel work that saved him and made him an apostle of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles.<\/p>\n

This is why Paul becomes very demanding that the light of the gospel does not get filtered, changed or altered in any way.\u00a0 Paul tells us anyone teaching any other gospel should be accursed.\u00a0 Paul extends much grace to many things and tolerance to many teachings.\u00a0 The exception is towards anyone who changes the gospel!\u00a0 Any teaching of works or baptism as the gospel is not the gospel; the gospel is the work of Christ, plus or minus nothing.\u00a0 This is why I really get upset at \u201cChristian\u201d groups that tamper with any aspect of the gospel.\u00a0 Eternity is too long and hell is too hot to get the understanding of the gospel wrong.\u00a0 To say \u201cI think they will be okay\u201d, is a sad declaration of surrender which appeases both sides when some remained lost and condemned.\u00a0 The Gospel can free all men, share the gospel today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2732"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2732\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2734,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2732\/revisions\/2734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
