Why is it dangerous to turn to another gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Turning to another gospel undermines the foundation of salvation as it mixes works with grace, leading to confusion and false assurance.

The danger of turning to another gospel lies in its essential deviation from the truth that Christ alone is the source of salvation. In Galatians 1:8-9, Paul emphasizes that even if an angel were to preach a different gospel, that one should be accursed. This reinforces the seriousness of distorting the Gospel. Adding anything to Christ's finished work—whether human tradition, rituals, or works—undermines the sufficiency of His grace. This perversion leads to a reliance on self rather than total dependence on Christ, which can yield a false sense of security for sinners. Recognizing the true Gospel protects believers from falling into legalism or despair.
