The Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions of Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Monday, 21 August 2017 "Good News" Bible Reading: Galatians 1:6-10

The Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions of Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Monday, 21 August 2017 "Good News" Bible Reading: Galatians 1:6-10
Galatians 1:
6 I am astounded that you are so quick to remove yourselves from me, the one who called you by the Messiah’s grace, and turn to some other supposedly “Good News,” 7 which is not good news at all! What is really happening is that certain people are pestering you and trying to pervert the genuine Good News of the Messiah. 8 But even if we — or, for that matter, an angel from heaven! — were to announce to you some so-called “Good News” contrary to the Good News we did announce to you, let him be under a curse forever! 9 We said it before, and I say it again: if anyone announces “Good News” contrary to what you received, let him be under a curse forever!
10 Now does that sound as if I were trying to win human approval? No! I want God’s approval! Or that I’m trying to cater to people? If I were still doing that, I would not be a servant of the Messiah.

Everyone likes good news - a baby will be born, their favorite team won the championship, someone who was sick has been healed. But the very best news of all is that Jesus died on the cross so that our sins can be forgiven!
In our Bible Reading today, Paul was worried about some of the Christians in the churches in Galatia. He had shared the Good News about Jesus with them. But now other people were teaching a false message and confusing these Christians. In verse 7 Paul said, "There is no other message that is good news, but some people...want to change the Good News about Christ."
Many people in the world today preach a false message about Jesus. This false message may sound good, but it is not based on the Bible. Be careful to only follow Jesus' teachings. Read and study the Bible so you will know God's true message. Pray and ask God to help you follow and obey His truth.
"I said this before. Now I say it again: You have already accepted the Good News. Anyone who tells you another way to be saved should be condemned." [Galatians 1:9]
PRAYER: Dear God, I want to only obey Your true message about Jesus and salvation through Him. In His name. Amen.
