THE GALATIANS Galatians 1:6 “Deserting” / "Turning" When you reject the Gospel, you are rejecting Himself! 3. THE APOSTLE Galatians 1:6 See Exodus 32:7-8 4. THE GOSPEL Galatians 1:8-9 When the gospel message is corrupted, the way of salvation is confused and people are in danger of being eternally lost! See Matthew 28:19-20, John 10:27, Luke 9:23, Jude 3, 5. THE DESIRE Galatians 1:10 Paul's Playlist: Psalm 118:8; 56:11; 40:4; Proverbs 29:25 Determined Desire: Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Philippians 3:13-14 CONCLUSION: THERE IS ONLY 1 BE ON FALSE GOSPELS DON'T !
