These are thoughts from a sermon I preached on February 07, 2016 at Shiloah Baptist Church of Jenkins, Missouri.
Galations 1:1-2:10
Explain the true Gospel of Jesus Christ as given by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
On the matter of “…or an angel” (1:8) Mohammed – saw an angel he called “Gabriel”, and he spoke of perverted scripture 570 A.D. at the age of 40.
Joseph Smith saw an angel (Moroni), was shown some “golden plates” and wrote from those plates “The Book of Mormon”
Both of those angels taught another gospel, another Jesus, and speak ill, evil of the cross of Jesus Christ the Son of God and God the Son.
Any religion which adds a work – baptism [sacraments], communion, circumcision, keeping the Sabbath day, any of the holy days, etc. – in order to be saved perverts the grace of God. It is legalism not grace.
This freedom, this liberty we have in Jesus Christ is unbound. We have no freedom or license to sin; we do have freedom from sins bondage. We are free to live for God apart from sin. There is no living for God in sin.
-Tim A. Blankenship
