In his sermon titled "One True Gospel," Fred Evans addresses the doctrine of the sufficiency of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as presented in Galatians 1:6-9. He asserts that any alteration to the Gospel, such as the addition of works to grace (specifically the law), fundamentally changes its nature, rendering it ineffective or "another gospel." By utilizing Paul's strong admonitions to the Galatians, Evans highlights that the integrity of the Gospel is paramount; any deviation from the pure message of grace must lead to severe consequences, thus emphasizing a reformed understanding of sola gratia. He underscores the practical significance of this doctrine, reminding believers of the need for vigilance against false teachings that may seek to undermine the Gospel's message of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
“If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that which you have received, let him be accursed.”
“By adding the one thing, you've perverted the whole thing. By adding the law of circumcision, Paul said they made void the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
“To add law to grace is an abomination. [...] This gospel we preach is of infinite value, and it must be proclaimed without compromise.”
“The gospel we proclaim is sure and true. [...] We depend totally on Him for our righteousness, for our wisdom, for our sanctification, and for our redemption.”
