Only One Gospel
"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. 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."
-GALATIANS
1:8-9 [KJV]
My
heart breaks as I watch people compromise the Gospel. But I must say
again… There is only one Gospel! The Gospel of the free and
sovereign grace of Christ my Lord. The Gospel that gives Christ all
the Glory in salvation and excludes all human boasting. The Gospel
that exalts the electing love of the Father, the effectual redemption
of the Son, and the irresistible grace of the Holy Spirit.
This is the Gospel and where this is not preached, the Gospel of Christ is not preached! Call me bigoted, narrow or cultist if you will, but this is the only Gospel that will save a sinner like me. I am captive to this Gospel! I really have no choice but to preach this Gospel! While many around us turn back, and while others criticize us for our stand, I must say with Martin Luther of old, "Here I stand, I can do no other!"

By God's grace, I am willing to die for
this Gospel, and I say with the Apostle Paul, "But none of
these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so
that I might finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have
received of the Lord, TO TESTIFY THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD"
(ACTS
20:24).
