Galatians 1:9 As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!
Paul here is making a bold and strong claim for the gospel. The gospel that he's talking about is the fundamentals of the gospel that he preached to people and that traditional Christian faith is based on. That Jesus is the son of God who, through his life, death and resurrection has opened God's kingdom to all who believe. That's it. It's as simple and as complicated as that.
Paul reminds us we need to keep that message central to everything we do and say in the church. If we let something else become central... if we let our personal opinions or tastes, if we let cultural traditions take central place, then we're missing the boat.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
