ANOTHER GOSPEL

Dear Reader:

In the book of Galatians 1:6-9, the Apostle Paul warns against the preaching of "Another Gospel" What is another Gospel?

Another Gospel is that which adds to, or takes from, the free, sovereign grace of God.

Another Gospel, in actuality, says that man is not truly spiritually dead in trespasses and sin. For another Gospel teaches that he has a free will whereby he may or may not respond to God's overtures to be saved from sin's power and penalty.

Another Gospel teaches that God loves everybody in the world, and that Jesus died for everybody in the world.

Another Gospel teaches that God has done His part. Now it's up to man to do his part, and respond to God's love.

All of this is another Gospel for it is not what the Bible says.

The Bible says that man is spiritually dead, therefore, not free to do good, but only evil. Eph. 2:1; Gen. 6:5; Rom. 6:20.

The Bible says that we are born with the wrath of God, and not the love of God, abiding upon us. John 3:36; Eph. 2:3; Rom. 1:1R

The Bible says that God has a plan. He has ordained many to eternal life. Jesus Christ has made an atonement for these who have been thus ordained. Jesus Christ has actually purchased the salvation of His sheep. The Holy Spirit infallibly applies this salvation to each one for whom it is intended. There will not be one in Hell for whom Christ died. Rom. 8:28; Acts 13:48; John 1O:11. 14-16, 26-30; 6:37-40; Rom 8:29,30 Acts 16:14; Jude 1; 1 Pet 1:3-5; Jude 24,25.

This is the glorious, victorious Gospel of the Bible. Halleluah! I Cor 15:57

Flee from any other Gospel, my friend, for he who preaches it is accursed.
