One Gospel - Galatians 1:6-7
There is much confusion today amongst the religious crowd for almost every church, and every denomination has their idea of how one can get to Heaven. The question we need to consider is not how religion or man defines the “gospel,” but “what does the Bible say about the Gospel?” The Bible says: “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” (Galatians 1:6-7 KJV).
To understand the Gospel, one needs to understand what is NOT the Gospel. The list below is not the Gospel of Salvation, and none of these things will save you; however, we have religions and men teaching and preaching; this is how one can get saved.

Maybe you thought one of those items listed above was the Gospel, but you have just heard what is NOT the Gospel and the Bible is very clear what is the Gospel. The Gospel of Christ -Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, Christ was buried, and Christ resurrected the third day according to the scriptures. The Gospel of Christ is found throughout the Bible and clearly defined in I Corinthians 15:1-4: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” The Gospel of Christ is Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, Jesus Christ was buried, and Jesus Christ resurrected the third day according to the scriptures
The bible tells us there is ONE Gospel: “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” (Galatians 1:6-7 KJV).
If you have not believed, what is stopping you right now from believing in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Believe Jesus Christ died on the Cross for your sins, burial, and resurrection and receive the greatest gift ever, which is eternal life. Eternal life does not start when you die; eternal life starts the very second you believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. Why not trust in Jesus Christ today for salvation. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:16-18 KJV)
If you know someone who is not saved, forward this message to them and share the greatest gift that one could ever receive.

Once Saved, Always Saved -"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." (John 10:28-30 KJV)
