What Gospel Do We Preach?

Galatians tells of us of "another" or "different"
Gospel being possible. Gal 1:6
Galatians also reveals those who start out right in the Gospel, by a work of the Spirit and end up going back to the law. If we leave the real Gospel we must return to legalism and religious laws, traditions, and doctrines of men to replace the real Gospel. An example of this is when Jesus reminded them that He was Lord of the Sabbath. Not the other way around. Some make their doctrines higher than the Lord of all doctrines. Gal 1:1-3
It is good to examine our faith and the Gospel that we are teaching.
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?" 2Cor 13:5
We need to make sure it is the Bible we are preaching and teaching. What God do we know and teach? What Lord do we serve? What Spirit are we filled with? God’s Spirit, the world’s spirit, religious spirits? May the message of the Gospel be clear and balanced and Biblical and devoted to the foundational truths which do not change.
