The Unchanging Gospel

This morning in our 6:15 men's study we discussed the fact that God never changes. At the 11:00 study we are studying Paul's Letter to the Galatians. As Paul writes in this letter about the one true gospel, I started thinking about how the unchanging nature of God is revealed in the unchanging message of the gospel! The gospel is good news, but it is not new news. God has been faithful to preserve the good news that He provides salvation throughout the earth's history -- and it remains good news today. The previous post contains a quote from Martin Luther from his Commentary on Galatians. This commentary was first published almost 500 years ago in 1535, yet it still has an impact on Christians around the world today. Why? Because Luther faithfully and clearly explains the gospel of Jesus Christ -- and that never becomes irrelevant. I highly recommend that you read old books. They remind us of the fact that the truth never changes.
