 Some will say that Galatians 1.6 teaches that you can lose your salvation, but does it? Let's look and see. Paul says, I'm amazed that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel. Again, we're going to see that when people who seem to be deserting or some may think that they are losing their salvation, notice what they are deserting. They are deserting from the faith, the tenets of the faith. Not from believing. And here's another example. Him who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel. Not for sin. These people aren't being spoken of or wrong because of sin because they're living a certain way. They're doing certain things. They've got to work for their salvation. No, that's not what Paul is bringing up. It's been introduced to them a different gospel. In this case, salvation by works. And so anyone who holds to that cannot be saved. As a matter of fact, while we're in Galatians, I want to look up another passage in Galatians as well. Galatians 5.4. Let's go there. And this is another passage that gets brought up often as to whether a person can fall away. And I want you to notice what Paul is saying just like in chapter 1. The same thing is happening here. Verse 4. He says, no, it's not in verse 3. He says, And I testify again every man who receives circumcision that he is under the law or under obligation to keep the whole law. Just like we read in first in chapter 1. That's the whole issue. These Judaizers have come in and they've caused people to believe that they can be saved by keeping the law. Jew and Gentile alike. And so verse 4. Notice what he says. Pay attention to the words. He says, You have been severed from Christ. Now people will get a little bothered because they see this term. You have been severed as to say, we'll see the only way that you can be severed or have been cut off is because you were once there. Similarly, using the word falling away, that the only way you can fall away from something is first having been there. But that's not true. I use the example often about a football team early in the year who loses so many games that they have already fallen away from the playoffs. Hadn't made it there yet. Or you have been cut off from that side of the river. The bridge is out. You have been cut off. You've been severed. Does it mean that you were on the bridge or you were on the other side? No. It's just to denote that you have, you don't have a way to get there. That's the point there. And notice what he says. He says he speaks about someone, a certain people. He says you have been severed from Christ. Who? Who has been severed from Christ? Whoever it is, you who are seeking to be justified by the law. You have fallen from grace. Anyone that is seeking to be saved by the law. Anyone that is seeking to be saved by works. That's who he's speaking of. He's not speaking of anyone else. He's not speaking of you. He's not speaking of me or anyone else who knows that we are saved by faith. He's speaking of those people who want to be saved, who think they ought to be saved by doing works. And if you think you can be saved by works or maybe even, here's the danger for some people, if you think you can be kept by works. Maybe Paul is speaking to some of you guys also. You have been cut off. You who try. Look what he says. You who are seeking to be justified. You who want to be justified by the law or by works. So, Galatians 1 nor does Galatians 5 speak or teach that a person can lose their salvation. Amen.
