Introduction
Text - Galatians 1.6-9; Galatians 3.8-9
Title - No Other Gospel (Part 2)
Background
Paul argues against a different gospel
Paul declares there is no other gospel
My Main Point
The Gospel as we know it did not begin with the “four gospels” of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The early beginnings of the gospel were the promises made by God even before the Law was introduced in Mount Sinai.
Sermon Points
The Gospel was already preached to Abraham
foresee - Grk. proorao, to see an event before it occurs
preach the gospel beforehand - Gr. proevangelizomai, to convey the gospel in advance
“in you all the nations shall be blessed”
Genesis 12.3
Genesis 18.18
Genesis 22.18 - focus is on the “seed”
The gospel preceded the law by more than 400 years.
The gospel already included the Gentiles.
We were always part of God’s plan of redemption!
The earliest “form” of the gospel were the Promises of God
A promise is a verbal commitment by one person to another to do or to not do something.
God’s promises are the earliest form of the Gospel.
Characteristics of the Promises
The promise were “christocentric”.
e.g. the “seed”
The promise came by revelation of God.
e.g.
God spoke to Abraham
The promise relates to the whole counsel of God.
e.g. the plan of redemption
Promises given before the Law was introduced
Genesis 3.15
Jesus Christ was the “seed” of the woman
Jesus destroyed the root of sin on the cross, but it killed Him as well
Genesis 49.9-10
Shiloh means “he to whom it (the scepter) belongs”
Shiloh speaks of Jesus who was to be king over Israel and the whole kingdom of God
Promises given after the Law was introduced
Deuteronomy 18.15-19
Jesus was the promised “prophet” who will speak God’s Word in person
Numbers 24.15-19
the Star that will come out of Jacob will also be the “Scepter” (Ruler)
2 Samuel 7.8-14
Solomon, who became king after David, was the prefiguration of the Son of David who:
will build the house of God - the church, the temple of the living God
will sit in the throne of David in the millennium
will be the Son of God
Conclusion
So what?
The promises of God belong to you!
Galatians 3.9 - you are blessed with believing Abraham
The promises were to make us partakers of the divine nature
2 Peter 1.2-4
The promises are waiting for the heirs who will claim them.
Hebrews 6.11-12
Abraham obtained the promise - Hebrews 6.12-15
Hebrews 10.35-39
