| Those who advance UOJ, forgiveness without faith, should remember this, especially if they acknowledge in print the importance of Luther's Galatians Commentary to the Book of Concord editors. |
A reader sent this to me from an earlier Ichabod post and wrote about how powerful this one quotation was and is.
I responded that the Luther-ignorant will read this as "Luther's opinion" and say, "I follow Jesus, not Luther." But this is an excellent restating of Paul's message.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
