TOPIC: BEWARE OF THE FALSE GOSPEL
TEXT: GaIatians3:23-4: 7
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 4:7
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

INTRODUCTION TEXT
As the good news about Jesus began to be preached and welcomed among people who were not Jews, the question arose as to whether a person must obey the Law of Moses in order to be a true Christian. Apostle Paul, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, pointed out that this was not necessary. According to him, the only basis to become a true Christian was faith by which all were put right with God (John 1:12-13). But among the churches of Galatia, there had come people who opposed Paul and claimed that one must also observe the Law of Moses in order to be in right standing with God. Paul emphasized that with genuine faith in Christ Jesus, Christians are no longer slaves to Sin or Satan but are sons and daughters of God and heirs
according to His promise (Gal. 3:26, 4:7).
Beloved, beware that there are many false teachings today. Some preachers project that once a person is saved, he is saved for ever.
In other words, it does not matter how a person lives after his conversion, he has eternal security! This is not the truth of the Gospel. The Bible affirms that Christians should live to glorify God in all things. As a child of God, you must note that false teaching is either a reduction or overstretching of the truth and any teaching that does not promote the knowledge of Christ and the holiness of the Church as prescribed by the Holy Bible is not for you (1 Cor. 10:12; Heb. 12:14). The scripture warns - "But know this that in the last days, perilous times will come for men shall be lovers of themselves ...from such turn away" (1 Tim. 3:1-5). Beware of false teachers!
Food for Thought: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John. 4:1)
