Beware of False Gospels (Galatians 1:8-9)

Beware of false gospels ( Galatians 1:8-9)

1) The gospel that teaches about a God of love and mercy without judgment.
God is a God of judgment and a Consuming fire ( Hebrews 10:26-31) ( Hebrews 12:29).
They teach about the love and the promises of God but will not tell you about Hell, eternal judgment, holiness, need for repentance and conversion, self denial, consecration and sanctification etc.

2) The gospel that teaches grace without holiness ( Romans 6:1-2). The grace of God is not a licence to commit sins. Without holiness, no man will see God ( Hebrews 12:14).

3) The Bread Alone Gospel i.e. the gospel of prosperity and riches without righteousness ( Proverbs 11:4) ( Revelations 3:17-18).
The greatest riches are spiritual riches, to be rich before God by seeking first the kingdom of God and its righteousness ( Matthew 6:33). Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

4) The gospel that teaches faith without obedience ( Luke 6:46) ( Romans 10:9-10).
They tell you that once you are saved on the basis of Romans 10:9-10 that you are saved forever even if you live in wilful and habitual sin.

Matthew 19:17 says that for anyone to enter into life, he must obey the commandments. Obedience is nonnegotiable.

5) The gospel of religion without salvation ( Matthew 15:8). Recognizing and acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour, and belief in His bodily resurrection is the basis of salvation ( Romans 10-9-10) ( 1 Corinthians 15:1-23).
Those who do not have faith in the bodily resurrection or do not accept Jesus as the Saviour are following mere religion without salvation.

6) The gospel of salvation by good works alone ( Ephesians 2:8-9).
Salvation is a work of grace and by faith, not of works lest men boast.
We are called to good works but good works without the second birth ends in eternal death.
This false gospel teaches that if your good works outweigh the bad, God will accept you. The righteousness of men is filth before God ( Isaiah 64:6).

These false gospels are a way that seems right but leads to death ( Proverbs 14:12).
Beware of one-sided gospels.
Beware of false teaching and false teachers ( 1 Timothy 4:1) in the church.
