The Apostle Paul was accused of many things, but when some Christian Jews accused him of watering down the Gospel, they were way off base. Because he didn’t require the Gentiles to follow the Law of Moses, the Jewish believers were upset.That didn’t fit with their culture, that wasn’t what God had originally told them to do. Jesus didn’t come to fit into any of man’s cultural standards. God knows the heart of man, knows that no one could ever uphold the law perfectly. He sent His Son to be the only worthy sacrifice for the sins of man and only by accepting and believing in His work on the cross, may we be forgiven. So many people think they can good work their way into heaven, pray their way in, or do fanatical acts to get into heaven. Do you think God would have allowed Jesus to do what He did if there was any other way? It doesn’t matter what the times or the culture says, there is only one way into heaven and that is to personally accept Jesus as Lord and Savior while you are alive! The world is constantly trying to water down the truth, but the truth doesn’t change. Start the new year strong in your faith and knowledge that Jesus is the (only) way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but through Him! No matter how much water the enemy throws upon it, he can’t wash away the truth.
Don’t Water It Down
