Galatians 2:1-10 | The Truth of the Gospel Preserved //
//
The Jews were expecting the Messiah, but they had fixed ideas about what he should be like. This led them to add ideas and rules to the gospel. //
//
But there are no add-ons. We don’t believe a ‘gospel plus’. We receive the revelation from God, we recognise it as truth, and we respond to it in submission. We don’t need to ‘get ourselves ready’ before we can become Christians. The important issue is to know and love God and to cling to and preserve the true, unadulterated gospel.
