ANATHEMA???

Good saturday morning from the USA. God be merciful unto all of us,and place grace in our hearts and in our minds.The Galatians oh my....the Galatians.They were converts of the Apostle Paul,but while he was gone from them they allowed preachers of another Gospel to come into their lives.The Gospel that says that being good and obeying all stated commandments(The Law)then mingle it with the Gospel of grace and you will be sanctified!Rubbish! Yes Rubbish means to critize severely,and reject as worthless.This is what i do and i am in great company. The Apostle Paul who led these Galatians to Christ,did exactly that when he returned and found how they had been deceived. The ten commandments and the law of Moses had by the time of Christ turned into hundreds of laws and rituals.Paul preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ.He preached that at the appearance of Christ,the teaching changed.The old mosaic laws were of no more effect. He preached that Christ died ,was buried ,and had risen again,and that because of that we now have redemption through the shed blood of Jesus.This is referred to as GRACE. Definition of grace is.....the free unmerited favor of God. We cannot earn it.Another definition is ...simple elegance or refinement.Refinement? Well lets look at that.Definition:The process of removing impurities or unwanted elements from a substance. Wow!!! The unwanted here is our sin.The guilt of it.The substance here is our souls. I feel from living in AMERICA today,we need a reminder of what grace is and reaffirm our vows to accept the truth of the True Gospel.No man made laws no matter how well the intentions are can sanctify us.Definition: to make holy,set apart as sacred. Neither can any church ritual,or church law.The book of Galatians chapter 1 verses 1 through 9). I have to add that the entire chapter 1 needs to be read. Its clear. Verse 9 is clear about the title of my sermon.Anathema...."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.
