2	Gal 1:6-10	5/11	Galatians 1:9–10 (ESV) — 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.	The world would like a simpler gospel. In context, some Galatians wanted a gospel that added works which doesn't seem simpler but made themselves the authors of their salvation. But God saved us entirely on his own and not on the basis of anything we did. We are attracted to the gospel not because of earthly rewards, but because we became cognizant of our sin and our impending punishment. We come to Christ, not for riches, but for salvation. We do not want Hell, we want heaven.	Thank you for saving us from our rightly earned reward -- the wages of sin is death. Thank you for a gift which is beyond our human ability to touch. Thank you Lord.
