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! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

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…

2. Making each of us a servant of Christ

10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Summary

We sometimes mix the culture and the value that are only familiar to ourselves with the faith in Jesus. We also tend to seek company only among those who can share the same culture and value with us. Both traits are not based on Jesus’ love. Jesus gave us a life to love others just as He does, to love them without judging them based on our own culture and value. God loves all people as His children and invites all to become a member of His family. This is Christ’s Gospel.
