Scripture of the Day - January 27, 2012

Galatians 1:8 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.

These are pretty strong words that we ought to heed. False teachers were starting to come into the church even back then. Paul and the other apostles warned the saints over and over to not stray from what they have been taught...the doctrine of Christ...the doctrine that Jesus taught his disciples...the doctrine that Jesus commanded His disciples to spread to ALL nations. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that this doctrine was only for those days... that it's not for today.

Those who teach that we have a new revelation are teaching false doctrine and leading others astray. There is no 'new' revelation...only the revelation of Jesus and the hope of His calling, which is for every sorry soul to be saved from ending up in a horrible place. 

Those who teach that we don't have to follow what the apostles taught in the book of Acts are teaching a false doctrine and are accursed. Those who teach that you only have to believe are accursed. Those who teach that you don't have to repent of your sins, get baptized in the name of JESUS for the remission of those sins and receive the Holy Spirit, which seals our inheritance are accursed. 

Do I offend you with these words? Well, Jesus was a stumbling block and a rock of offense too. The enemies of Christ hated Him and crucified Him. They hated to hear that their tradition was wrong... that they were wrong. They refused to repent and follow Christ...instead they crucified Him. 

Don't you crucify Him today. Don't call His word a lie. Seek Him while He may be found. Get aboard the ark before it's too late. Save yourself from this untoward generation. Now is not the time to play games with God. Now is not the time to follow every wind of doctrine. Now is the time to stay the course that God has laid out for you in His word.
