“I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:6-10 NASB1995)
The apostle Paul, anointed by the Holy Spirit, penned these words to the church in Galatia. He was deeply concerned that so many of them were deserting the gospel of their salvation, and were accepting a different gospel which was not the gospel of Christ. For they were listening to the Judaizers of their day who were convincing them that they had to be more like Jews, and that they had to follow some of the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, circumcision, dietary and Sabbath laws, thus adding on to the gospel.
And we have Judaizers yet today who are trying to convince Christians that they need to be more like Jews, and that they need to adhere to some of the Old Covenant laws and Jewish customs and rituals, and that it will enhance their relationship with God. And some of them (or many of them) are painting the Jewish nation as God’s chosen people still in this generation, even though the Scriptures deny that notion, and they teach that all who reject Jesus Christ are the antichrist, and not part of God’s holy nation.
There is a massive movement in the USA today to convince Christians that they are somehow inferior to the Jews and that they should treat the Jewish people almost like they are gods, in a worshipful kind of way, to where they raise them up above all other people, and they believe that they are to give them their undying loyalty, devotion, and support, praying for God’s blessings upon them, and even opposing all who do not support them. But that is antibiblical, for all who do not believe in Jesus Christ are not of God.
And the Scriptures make it clear that just because someone is physically descended from Israel, and they are physical offspring of Abraham, it does not automatically make them children of God. For all who reject Jesus Christ reject God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So all Jews who reject Christ reject the God of their ancestors in favor of the gods of this world. And so they are not the children of promise, the promise given to Abraham and to his seed, Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:16).
[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13;1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]
But this isn’t just about Jew worship and treating the Jewish nation as though they are somehow superior to the rest of us, even though, as a nation, they are the antichrist. This is about those who alter and distort the gospel of our salvation which was taught by Jesus and by his New Testament apostles, and in order to deceive the people into following Satan’s lies. For the devil is behind all of this worship of a false god and the false gospels being taught in place of the gospel taught by Jesus and by his apostles.
For Satan wants people believing that their “faith” in Jesus Christ, by lip service only, secures them heaven as their eternal destiny, and forgiveness of all sins, none of which can be taken away from them, even if they totally ignore Jesus Christ and his teachings, and so they continue in deliberate and habitual sin against God and in walks of disobedience to his commands. But Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught the opposite of that. They taught that how we live matters as to where we will spend eternity.
For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).
For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).
[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]
So, don’t be fooled by Satan’s lies. Read all these Scriptures noted above. Read them in their full and correct biblical context. And let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth. And do not give your worship and undying devotion to any human being or people group, but give all your worship and devotion to God alone, to Jesus Christ who is the one who gave his life up for us on that cross so that, by God-persuaded faith in him, we will now die to sin and obey our Lord and his commands in practice, and have eternal life with God.
Mary, Did You Know?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're
Holding is the great, I Am
Mary, did you know?
