—Galatians 1:6-12
by: Jerry Johnson.
In our culture, Christians tend to be labeled as offensive. When you look at the surface, it would seem natural for the world to embrace us, for when we honor Christ we demonstrate the fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). One would think the Christian faith should be appreciated in an era of trouble.
Yet, our world is no different from Paul's world was in this respect: man's desire is to have a gospel that gives him the credit for his good deeds. This produces a distorted perspective of what Christ has done. America has more than 5,000 cults. Why? The cults exist because so many reject the teaching that there is no other gospel.
