"If anyone preaches
any other Gospel to
you than what you
have received, let
him be accursed."
---Galatians 1:9

There are many spiritual books being promoted on spiritual advice. If the material doesn't have the starting point for a relationship with God through salvation in Jesus Christ alone, it is erroneous doctrine. Writers seem to impy that the essence of living spiritually is based totally on good deeds and not on saving faith in Christ.

The culture of the church is changing. And often left behind in the rush to find exciting new ideas is the essential nature of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul was astonished that people so readily embraced a "different gospel" (Gal. 1:6). What he preached was not from man, but a direct revelation from Jesus Himslef. (vv. 11-12).

We must never let go of that true Gospel: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again for our justification, declaring us righteous before God (Rom. 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:3-4). This alone offers the "power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" (Rom. 1:16). If we want to live for God, this is the only place to start.

No one can say he doesn't need
Forgiveness for his sin,
For all must come to Christ by faith
To have new life within.
