Why is it important to understand the confusion of Babylon?

Babylon symbolizes confusion, particularly in terms of man's efforts to create a religion based on works rather than God's grace. This confusion is seen in man's attempts to build a spiritual tower to heaven, which is futile and contradicts the gospel of grace. When believers mix their works with Christ's atonement, they fall into a 'Babylonian gospel' that cannot truly provide salvation. Recognizing this helps Christians remain vigilant against false teachings and uphold the purity of the gospel, which is solely based on grace through faith in Christ.
