Text: Galatians 1:6-12

One Gospel, Many Preachers

Over the course of time, there have been many preachers. At the beginning of the church, there was only one gospel! As time went on, some people began to turn to a different gospel; however, there is not really another gospel, but some wanted to pervert the one gospel and preach a false gospel! That still happens today, yet it should not be so!

I. There is one gospel.

A. Paul received the gospel through revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:11-12).

B. The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

C. The gospel is God’s power to save (Romans 1:16)!

D. There is not another gospel, but some pervert it (Galatians 1:6-7).

II. There are many preachers.

A. Peter preached the first gospel sermon on Pentecost (Acts 2:29-36).

B. Philip preached Jesus to the Ethiopian (Acts 8:30-37).

C. Paul simply preached Christ and Him crucified (Romans 6:1-6; 1 Corinthians 2:2; Galatians 6:14; 1 Corinthians 1:17; 1 Thessalonians 2:9).

III. Many preachers must preach the same gospel!

A. Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned (Mark 16:15-16).”

B. Preachers must preach so people can hear, believe, and call upon the LORD (Romans 10:13-16; Isaiah 52:7).

C. Preachers should say the same thing, and let there be no division among them (1 Corinthians 1:10).

D. If a preacher preaches a different gospel, he is to be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9).

It was thrilling to hear many gospel preachers last week at Polishing The Pulpit. They all spoke the same thing! The one gospel that was preached in the first century can still be preached today. The one gospel that saved men’s souls then is the one gospel that saves men’s souls today. Though there may be many preachers must preach the one gospel of Christ from the Word of God!

Have you heard the one gospel and responded to accept salvation in Christ?

Salvation:  Hear - Believe - Repent - Confess - Be Baptized - Live Faithfully
