Why is it dangerous to add to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Adding to the gospel perverts its message and denies the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice.

Adding to the gospel introduces a works-based mentality, which undermines the core truth that salvation is by grace alone. As the sermon illustrates, when individuals begin to rely on their own efforts or religious rituals, they distort the gospel. This practice is a perversion that cannot bring true salvation or justification. Paul stressed this to the Galatians to safeguard the purity of the gospel message, warning that any alteration leads to a departure from true faith. The gospel must remain focused on Christ’s finished work for it to be effective and transformative.
