THE GOSPEL OF CHRISTIANITY’S CHRIST VS THE ‘GOSPEL’ OF ROME’S ANTICHRIST – (Part 3)
The gospel of Christ is a system of practical truths. The “gospel” the Antichrist is a counterfeit of this practical truths. First, a quick, short yet crystal clear summation of what the true gospel is and what it was designed by God to accomplish for sinful man born on sin-cursed, fallen Earth, a captive of Satan and slave fo sin in his carnal, spiritually unborn state.
From the inspired pen of God’s last-day messenger, we read [all words in brackets mine]:
“The gospel is a system of practical truths destined to work great changes in human character. If it does not work the transformation in life, in habits, and practice, it is no truth to those who claim to believe it. Man must be sanctified by through the truth. And said Jesus, ‘Thy word is truth’ (John 7:17).
Unless the truth of God [in the true gospel] shall lift up man out of his depravity, his intemperance and profligate habits, and make him reflect the image of God, he is lost [not ‘found’ and unconditionally “saved by grace’].” E. G. White, Letter 14, March 13, 1885/TDG 81.
All diligent students of the Bible can quickly see that these succinct statements are totally Bible-based and are “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” and thus exposes any and all “peace-and-safety” messages of the purveyors of the widely-popular deceptive and soul-destroying “prosperity gospels” and the “gospel” of the Antichrist, which we will cover in the next few days.
Bless all the wide-eyed, childlike truth-seekers! NMF
