6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! Galatians 1:6-8
Have you ever found yourself confused about God and His path for you? Maybe it was someone in your religious past who relayed a pathway to God that was slightly different than the one spelled out in scripture. Today we see many "religions" or groups that espouse pathways to God, and many of them go against what God's word states. When this happens, we know the enemy is at work, because he doesn't want you to think it is as simple as accepting Christ as outlined in His Word. He wants you to see a pathway that is so challenging, that God would never allow you to reach Him. Funny thing, that's not what God wants. He wants everyone to come to him, and the simple pathway to accepting Him and allowing us to be saved is truly the roadmap we need to follow. God didn't send His Son to the cross in order for us to go through other hoops, he sent Him to the Cross so we could live again. So, remember that when you have confusion about the pathway to God, it is relatively simple and straightforward. Don't let others pervert the path God has set out for us.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
