What will happen to those who pervert the gospel of grace?
Galatians 1:8 declares that anyone, even an angel from heaven, who preaches another gospel than the one Paul preached is to be accursed. This curse means not merely prison or capital punishment but eternal separation from God and eternal doom.
Les teaches that Galatians 1:8 is a horribly strong word. Paul says that though he or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel than what was preached, let him be accursed. Les explains that this is not merely 15 or 20 years in prison, nor even capital punishment; it is an eternal separation from God, an eternal doom for those corrupting and perverting the pure gospel of grace. He shudders to think of what they will one day experience.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
