The Social Gospel

INTRO: The Lord Jesus, speaking of the last days says that if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. The Scriptures abound with warnings. It was Paul who penned these words, “…knowing this that in the last days perilous times will come” (2 Tim. 3:1).

The passage to which I want to draw our attention this morning is found in Galatians 1. Paul says in verse 6, “I marvel that you are turned so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different Gospel.” Paul says it is a different gospel. There are two words for that word translated ‘different' in the original language of the NT. There is ‘another' of the same kind. That is allos. Then there is another of a different kind. That is heteros. There is only one true Gospel. There is no other of the same kind and there is no other of a different kind that is still a true Gospel. But there is another of a different kind that is a false Gospel.
