Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
We all like convenience. Things that are convenient make our lives easier, more pleasant.
Over the years, convenience seems to have slipped into the church, pervading the gospel of Jesus Christ, replacing the truth with “another gospel”.
So much of what we’re fed these days revolves around us, about making our lives better, not about making our lives count for God while we’re here on earth.
Think about the messages we hear over and over again; be happier, be wealthier, be more influential, make your life better, etc.
It’s important that we don’t let these fluffy messages replace the gospel of truth, the message of God’s mercy and love for humanity.
His love is about saving the lost, first and foremost. Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins. His blood was shed as an atonement for those sins, to wash them away. It was a very high price that was paid.
Let’s not fall prey to other gospels, looking to God solely for material things, more convenient lives and everything else that humanity desires.
Instead, let’s be sure to put God first in everything we do, becoming a living sacrifice each and every day.
Romans 12:1 (NKJV) 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
