HAVE YOU BELIEVED ANOTHER GOSPEL?

HAVE YOU BELIEVED
ANOTHER GOSPEL?

"Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and
would pervert the gospel of Christ." (Gal. 1:7).
Friend, have you been deceived into believing "another
gospel"? The word "gospel" means glad tidings or good news.
The apostle Paul says that this "other gospel" is not a gospel at
all; because it does not truthfully present the good news of God's
GRACE in His plan of eternal salvation for the souls of men. Out
of a sincere concern for those souls, this tract was written to ex-
pose the "other gospel" by presenting the true gospel of Jesus
Christ as explained by Paul.

"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man,
neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."
(Gal. 1:11,12)
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again
the third day according to the scriptures:" (I Cor. 15:3, 4).
Friend, maybe you consider yourself to be of some particular
creed or religious faith, but the Bible says: "Examine yourselves,
whether ye be in the faith;" (II Cor. 13:5). Before you read any
further, would you please pray and ask God to help you honest-
ly examine yourself by His scriptures to determine whether you
have believed the TRUE GOSPEL, or have been deceived by the
"other gospel".
In Acts, Chapter 20, Paul briefly reviews his teachings on the
conditions of salvation when he says farewell to the elders of
Ephesus.
"I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have
shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to
house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our
Lord Jesus Christ." (Acts 20:20, 21)
EXAMINE YOURSELF!
REPENTANCE -- a change of attitude about self toward God.
*Have I ever admitted to God that I was an unrighteous SINNER
in His sight? Yes__ No__
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Rom.
3:10).
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;" (Rom. 3:23).
*Have I ever realized that I cannot ESTABLISH MY OWN
RIGHTEOUSNESS by getting baptized, keeping the law, or
living a good life? Yes__ No__
"What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed
not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even

the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed
after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of
righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith,
but as it were by the works of the law." (Rom. 9:30-32)
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going
about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."
(Rom. 10:3)
"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus
Christ unto all and upon all them that believe:" (Rom. 3:22).
EXAMINE YOURSELF!
FAITH -- a complete confidence in Jesus Christ alone to save
your soul.
*Have I ever claimed the PERFECT SACRIFICE of Jesus' death
as atonement (payment) for my sins? Yes__ No__
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being
made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that
hangeth on a tree:" (Gal. 3:13).
"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for
sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"
(Heb. 10:12).
*Am I PERSUADED that Jesus Christ has completely saved
my soul from the judgment of a burning lake of fire,
forever? Yes__ No__
"...for I know whom I have believed, and am persuad-
ed that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him
against that day." (II Tim. 1:12b)
"And being fully persuaded that, what he had promis-
ed, he was able also to perform." (Rom. 4:21)
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:" (Rom. 5:1).
Friend, if you couldn't answer "Yes" to each of the previous
questions; then you have probably been deceived by the "other
gospel" and are not in THE FAITH which Paul is talking about.
You see, the "other gospel" teaches that you must "live right"
in order to get saved or stay saved. It offers no real peace with
God because you have to wait until death to know if you have
everlasting life or not. This is not faith in the perfect sacrifice of

Jesus' death on the cross. You are still trusting in yourself to
ESTABLISH YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS. You cannot get
saved by believing this other (false) gospel. Remember, the true
gospel teaches that salvation is a gift from God for man, not a
work from man for God.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast." (Eph. 2:8, 9)
"For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made
void, and the promise made of none effect: .... Therefore it is
of faith, that it might be by grace;" (Rom. 4:14, 16a).
"And if by grace, then it is no more of works: otherwise
grace is no more grace." (Rom. 11:6)
Are you willing to believe the true GOSPEL OF GRACE? If
so, with repentance toward God and faith in Jesus, ask Him for
the gift of everlasting life right now. The very moment you com-
pletely trust Jesus Christ as your saviour and Lord. . .that very
moment. . .you are saved. . .forever!
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life." (John 5:24).
Please send this tract to us to let us know that after reading
it, you have decided to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
