I found this comparison in my Bible. Thought it was great and wanted to share it.
True Gospel vs. False Gospel
A false gospel treats Christ death as meaningless.
Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
The TRUE GOSPEL teaches that the source of the Gospel is God.
Galatians 1:11-12
11I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. 12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
A false gospel says people must obey the law to be saved.
Galatians 3:12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."
The TRUE GOSPEL knows that life is obtained through death; we trust in the God who loved us so and died for us so that we may die to sin and live for Him.
20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
The false gospel tries to find favor with God by observing certain rituals.
Galatians 4:10 10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
The TRUE GOSPEL explains that all believers have the Holy Spirt through faith.
Galatians 3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
The false gospel counts on keeping laws to erase sin.
Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
The TRUE GOSPEL declares that we cannot be saved by keeping laws; the only way of salvation is through faith in Christ which is available to all.
Galatians 3:21-22 factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
The TRUE GOSPEL says that all believers are one in Christ, so there is no basis for discrimination of any kind.
Galatians 3:26-38 26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
The TRUE GOSPEL proclaims that we are free from the grp of sion and that the Holy Spirit's power fills and guides us.
Galatians 5:24-25 . 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its pkmtyolpions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
