JUNE: When God Moves in Revival

June 27

THE SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP OF REVIVAL

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another..."
Galatians 1:6-7

Now this is the kind of thing that is being said at the present time: It does not matter what people may teach. Though they may deny the very essence of Christianity, if I like them, if I am attracted to them, if I can talk easily to them, then that is what counts. It is what they are that is important and thus they make an appeal to you. So what do we say about this modern tendency?

That is not the danger today! The danger today is that we are so afraid of legalism that we have become utterly nondescript. We have knocked down all the barriers and the signposts; anything is all right. "We are a happy lot together and we have a wonderful spirit. Roman Catholics are suddenly now changing. Everything is marvelous. We are going to have a great universal church and there will be no more trouble."

But that is the very opposite of the New Testament teaching. No, I am not arguing for a legalistic precision. All I am arguing for is what the Apostle Paul is putting before us here in Romans 10:3. These Jews, he says, are outside because they have not got this exact knowledge that saves! There are implications and aspects of this great truth about which we cannot and must not speak dogmatically. But about the thing that saves us we must be as dogmatic as we can be This is absolutely essential to salvation.

The Apostle's case was always this: there is only one gospel. It had been committed to him and he preached it. Any departure from it was a lie, and whoever preached a lie deserved to be "accursed" (Galatians 1:8).

A Thought to Ponder
"Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."

From Saving Faith, a sermon on Romans 10:3 by Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
