Me
Approval of man
Willingness to adjust for acceptance
We
All to common, today a fear of being cancelled, black listed
We know we will be persecuted, but we will please God when we follow the truth we see in Scripture
We Must Not Desire the Approval of Man
God
Pray: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our heart be pleasing in your sight O LORD our rock and our redeemer.
Astonished by Deserting
Paul summarizes the purpose of his letter in this section.
This is not a light matter, it is a heavy charge.
One commentary calls this section the Apostolic curse.
Paul uses heavy language in this letter
Paul is not only charging them with the loss of the gospel, but how fast they fell.
There will be straying from time to time within the church.
This is the importance of sempre reformada
This was why there was te need for the Reformation
But they did not just wander, the abandoned the gospel.
They were walking from the truth of grace seeking to return to a law of works.
We will look more at the issues here in coming weeks, but we see the issue in some individuals come and saying there was a need to return to keeping the law.
This is a different gospel.
And the trust is, there is no other gospel, not other good news, no other path.
These people did not come to present a different way, but gave a distortion of the gospel.
These were the trouble makers.
We Must Not Desire the Approval of Man
Its not too late, we may falter, but we can cast out falsehood.
Cast Out Falsehood
This section is where we see this Apostolic curse.
Paul states that if anyone preaches a false gospel, let them be accursed.
This is a curse and a heavy moment.
The greek word is (anathema), a word we have in english now meaning to shunned
Thats essentially what this means here, let them be turned out.
He emphasizes the point of even if it comes from an angel, they should be turned out as well.
Islam and LDS - angel
It doesn’t matter the source if it is contrary to the true gospel, they shall be cursed and separated.
Our charge toward false teaching generally
Paul emphasises this here, that the gospel he preached is the one true gospel.
If anything goes against this, it is false.
This is why in the 1st section he states his authority
Different times Paul gives his credentials and for different reasons.
Here it is the carrying of the message.
We Must Not Desire the Approval of Man
Who should we wish to please.
Pleasing God Alone
This false gospel is coming from those whom are troubling them
They are wanting to please people.
Must follow Scripture
If we seek to please man we are not servants of Christ.
We will upset people with the gospel
The gospel is offensive (enough)
Bending against truth
We Must Not Desire the Approval of Man
It may be easy to follow the desires of man, but we must follow the truth of Scripture alone.
You
Do Not Desert the Gospel
Cast Out Falsehood
Please God Alone
May we never abandon the gospel of Christ or the true practice of the faith
May we recognize falsehood
May we always seek to please God alone
The reformers were men that sought to follow the gospel and correct it.
We
The reformers.
Hus.
Luther.
Calvin.
Anabaptists.
What are we looking to please.
Are we changing the gospel and practice for the sake of man.
We Must Not Desire the Approval of Man
