Paul’s gospel must be accepted, it must be believed today, and
you can be sure that confusion concerning that gospel through the
use of a counterfeit gospel; a gospel that looks so much like
Paul’s gospel that you’d not know the difference, if you didn’t
clearly know Paul’s gospel, will be Satan’s focus in this age of
grace.
One of Satan’s purpose in this age of grace is to confuse Paul’s
gospel with a gospel so nearly to it, and there are many people out
there today saying all you have to do is to believe in the death,
burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and you’re saved. They
believe this in almost every church across the board that Christ
died, was buried and rose again, but what do they believe was
accomplished by that death, burial and resurrection?
In their minds, they were separating themselves for God by their
sin, and Paul is saying that God has already reconciled you where
your sins are concerned. God is reconciled where the sins of the
world are concerned, because he imputed those sins to Christ, that
all who would believe what he imputed to Christ, that that resolved
the sin issue forever, and are now joined to his son and have his
righteousness freely counted to them, or imputed to their
account.
Paul called it the ministry of reconciliation, Christ fulfilled the
law for us, so we are identified with the righteousness of Christ
the moment we take God at his word, obedient to the faith,
concerning what Christ accomplished on our behalf. Today our
service comes not out of apprehension to any of those things; our
service today comes based solely on our appreciation for what
Christ has already done.
