The light of the world!

"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ." Galatians 1:6-7

The apostle Paul traveled throughout the area around the town of Galatia preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. But during his travels, he received news that another group had entered the Galatian church and was spreading false teachings. So he wrote a letter to warn the people about the danger of listening to that false teaching.

That same warning speaks to you and me today. There are so many other religions in the world that teach something other than the gospel of Jesus Christ. And there is danger in listening to those teachings, because they are not the true gospel. As Paul writes, they are really "no gospel at all."

How can we be sure? Because of the work that Jesus Christ did on the cross. Every other religion in the world can be spelled "d-o." They teach us that there is something that we can do to get into a relationship with God.

Christianity, though, is spelled "d-o-n-e." Jesus has already done the work to bring you into a relationship with God. All you have to "do" is believe in Him and receive Him into your heart. And then, continue to turn to Him for His truth and His light in your life.
