NO NEW GOSPEL

NO NEW GOSPEL

A few weeks ago, I was tidying up my lawn when I picked up a printed card that had blown there from somewhere else. Of course it’s origin was clear enough. Its message was that God gave the Old Testament, then He gave the New Testament, and now He has given another newer Testament. In other words that this newest message is equally as valid if not more so than the prior Testaments.

Immediately, I thought of something written by John the Apostle, by inspiration of God. “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away, from the words of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Revelation 22:18-19).

The Apostle Paul also clearly condemned anyone who tampered with the Gospel that is revealed in the Word of God, the message that he has been preaching where ever he went in obedience to the Lord’s command. “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20) (Emphasis mine). There is no other Testament, and no other gospel. To add to or take away, is to pervert the gospel message.

This is the very thing that both John and Paul were condemning

Galatians 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.

We are facing the very same problems that they were speaking of today. No matter how beautifully it is printed, and how Biblical the pictures on it, perversion of the gospel and the message of the Lord and worthy of being treated as such. The problem in the early church was that individuals in the church, Jews by background, wanted all converts to come by that same way, first become a Jew, being circumcised, then convert to Christ. These false teachers were called “Judaizers”. Today, they would be members of a cult, having taken away or added to the purity of the gospel message. Their message becomes corrupted. Paul says of such, “Let him be accursed”, Beware of such teachings, they are of the world not of God.
