I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting
the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of ChristPreacher
and Bible commentator, John Stott, said in his exposition of Paul's letter to
the Galatians:
"To
tamper with the gospel is to trouble the church... Indeed, the church's
greatest troublemakers (now as then) are not those outside who oppose, ridicule
and persecute it, but those inside who try to change the gospel... Conversely,
the only way to be a good churchman is to be a good gospel-man. The best way to
serve the church is to believe and to preach the gospel."

There are so many so-called Christians today who are trying
to convince us that we are mistaken in the way we interpret the bible,
especially the gospels. According to them Jesus did not really perform the
miracles witnessed and experienced by many during His ministry. In fact, the
miracles described in the gospels were only some of those witnessed. In John’s
gospel ch 20: 30, 31 he explains the purpose of
his gospel,
Jesus
performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not
recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is
the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his
name.
The gospels are the true account of the
birth, life, death and glorious resurrection of Jesus.
It does not matter how often I read the first
four books of the New Testament, my heart is filled
with joy. To be reminded again and again of exactly what our Saviour did for us
should never fail to lift our hearts to praise His name.
Satan is moving in the world now and we must
be on our guard against the false teachers and preachers he is sending out to
spread his lies. So many once faithful Christians doing the work of the father
of lies.
Be dressed in the full armour of God at all
times.
Prayer
Sovereign Lord, we come to You today in all
humility, knowing that You are our heavenly Father who sees and knows our
inmost hearts. You know how weak we are in our own strength, so we ask You to
walk with us sharing Your mighty power with us so that we may be able to
withstand the onslaught that is building as Satan uses his evil power to
ensnare the unwary and weak. We come to You through Your holy Spirit in Jesus
blessed name, amen.
