Galatians chapter 1 verses 6 through 8 are critical not just for this entire book and understanding this Bible book but for every one of our lives.

Paul writes, I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel.

Not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the

gospel of Christ.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel,

contrary to the one we preach to you, let him be accursed.

This picture of different Gospels, which Paul says not that there really is a

different Gospel, but people who were at the churches in Galatia proclaiming what they said was the gospel but was not

the gospel it was a message of salvation by works not by grace.

People saying that we are saved from our sins before God based on what we do,

not simply by grace through faith and trust in Christ alone what he did at the cross.

So we read this in the first century from the very beginning people were taking the gospel

and twisting it and

distorting it and the reality is 2,000 years later all kinds of people are

doing the exact same thing taking the gospel and twisting it, distorting it and communicating it as if this

was the gospel. We see this all around us. People saying that Christianity is based on what you do before God, how you earn the

favor of God instead of trusting solely in the mercy of God, the grace of God in Christ on the cross to save us from our sins.

People, when it comes to a health and wealth gospel, prosperity gospel, it's called, saying,

come to Christ and you will get health and come to Christ and

you'll have a wealth and come to Christ and you'll experience prosperity in the

world. It's not true. We don't come to Christ to get health or wealth or prosperity. We come to Christ to get Christ.
