Micah Hackett
Galatians 1:6-9
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is
not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 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. As
we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him
be accursed.
Assemblies are in grave danger today as the devil seeks to destroy any standing we take on Truth and to some
extent he has been succeeding, because far too many professing Christians see it as too much work to stand for
something which the majority rejects. We have begun to divide Truth into essential and non-essential categories. We
have begun to think as if relativists when it comes to assembly teaching, thinking that we can never really be sure
regarding what God expects of the local church. This sort of thinking leads to a compromise of the gospel; and when
we compromise that, we have no place to stand upon as believers (1 Corinthians 3:2).
In reality, the gospel is not only a message to unbelievers, it is doctrine which believers must continually uphold. So
then, it is essential to know and watch for characteristics of a false gospel, as it is described in our text. We have one
body of Truth to uphold, and if we miss that, we miss everything, because Christ is Truth.

genuinely bring them near to God in the gospel. It is a shame that such is the case. The Lord Jesus paid everything
your sins demanded so that you not only could be reconciled but also brought near in fellowship to God. Dont
despise His work by selling a privileged fellowship with the Creator for another gospel.

The Lord Jesus said Whosoever shall stumble one of these little ones, it were better for him that a millstone be tied
about his neck and cast into the sea. It is not a laughable occupation to deceive the people of God. It is not a light
thing to teach false doctrines to the people of God, for it hinders them from God Himself. Paul emphasized twice
over that he which perverts the gospel of Christ and preaches another is accursed as long as he continues in that
doctrine. God is absolutely abhorred when He sees His blood-bought people subject to what the Devil wishes to
teach regarding Christ: our view of His Person are at stake! And the same is true regarding the souls of both the false
teacher and the false learner.
So then, what will our response be to Divinely revealed Truth? Our response to it reflects our response to God
Himself. Let us not minimize the importance of preaching a clear and Scriptural gospel message, both to the
unregenerate and to the saved. We must uphold Truth at all costs. And it starts by knowing Truth by the power of the
Holy Spirit revealing Christ to you through the pages of Scripture. Will you stand by what He reveals to you? Or will
you deceive yourself and be drawn away from God unto a so-called other gospel. Be not deceived! Truth matters,
and it affects everything.
