This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!

I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings.

God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.

Galatians 5:9-10 NLT

When we hold on to something that is not the Gospel, when we make that small thing The Thing, then it impacts on all parts of us.

That's the warning.

And then Paul does something interesting - he doesn't go after the person who is giving this false teaching, he has spent time in this letter restating what's true and simply invites his readers and hearers to stick with that, to let God's spirit keep the community on track together.

When we focus on what is True, what is false loses its power.

When we focus on what is True, the lies we've believed lose their power. 

Paul's letter is about the freedom we have in Jesus, when we accept His gift of Grace and express that faith in Love.

Let's stick with that.
