Galatians 1:6-7 CSB

I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 

Galatians 1:6-7 CSB

It didn't take long for some false teaching to find its way into the church.

And it didn't take long for those early Christians to start following that teaching either.

And this without YouTube or Instagram or any of the other ways that we get information today.

What this letter reminds us of is our tendency to listen to what we want to hear, what seems easier or more attractive, that we are so easily swayed...

Paul's clue here is that Jesus is at the centre. Whenever we move Jesus from the centre of the Good News, the Gospel, then we are right in Paul's firing line.

Paul reminds us here that it is a gospel of grace. 

Maybe that's the reminder we need today that it's by Grace that we are here, the Grace that brought Jesus into our story, and the Grace that makes us part of His Story, and it's Grace that will take us home.
