BIBLE READING PLANNER

THE GOSPEL

The word 'Gospel' means 'good news' or 'glad tidings'. These good tidings are about the Kingdom of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and how men may be saved.

There is only one Gospel. It cannot be changed (Jude 1:3).

LETTER TO THE GALATIANS

Certain Jews had already tried to take the Galatian believers away from the one Gospel by insisting also that they kept the ritual of the old law. So Paul writes to them.

The Gospel is that Jesus is the Promised Seed (descendant) of the woman (Genesis 3:15; Galatians 4:4) and of Abraham (Genesis 12:3; Galatians 3:16) and that Jews or Gentiles can by faith inherit a share in the PROMISES but only if they are IN CHRIST (3:27)

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY - 2 Corinthians 11 - There is only one Gospel (verses 3, 4) and it must not be altered. Note how Paul had suffered for the defense of that Gospel.

MONDAY - Galatians 1 - There is only one Gospel (verses 6-9) and it must not be altered! It is the Gospel we too must believe.

TUESDAY - Galatians 2 - The old law has been replaced by the grace of Christ (verses 20-21).

WEDNESDAY - Galatians 3 - Notice that the Gospel was preached to Abraham (verse 8). Faith in Christ and baptism into him make us also heirs of the PROMISE (verse 29).

THURSDAY - Galatians 4 - We need to be sons of God (verse 6) and children of the PROMISE (verse 28) if we are to inherit the earth.

FRIDAY - Galatians 5 - Those who are Christ's must put to death their own wrong desires (verse 24).
