Most people, shaped by worldly thinking, readily accept a church-approved gospel that differs from the one Paul preached. Some adopt an unofficial version that claims, “There is one God—Jesus.” Others follow the more widely accepted official doctrine that says, “God is three in one.” Yet even this version stands in contrast to the gospel proclaimed by Paul.
The true gospel reveals something else entirely: God is the Father—He is both the God and Father of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son.
If you have turned away from worldliness and religious tradition, you embrace this truth with love: there is one God, the Father, and Jesus is His Son. In love, you reject what is evil and cling to what is good. And as disciples of the Son, you live in the hope of eternal life.
