What is the difference between the true Gospel and a false Gospel?

Answered in 2 sources

The true Gospel emphasizes grace and the finished work of Christ, while a false Gospel includes human effort or merit (Galatians 1:8).

The distinction between the true Gospel and false gospels lies in their foundational principles. The true Gospel, as articulated by Paul in Galatians 1:8, focuses on the grace of God and the completed work of Christ, asserting that salvation is solely based on faith in Him without the addition of human effort. In contrast, a false Gospel often introduces elements of works or conditions that individuals must fulfill to attain or maintain salvation. This creates confusion and undermines the assurance that comes from knowing salvation is entirely the work of God. The early Church faced this challenge as false teachers sought to blend grace with the law, prompting the need for believers to be vigilant and discerning.
