Remain in the One Gospel
What began with Jesus Christ continues through the Holy Spirit, who ministers the grace given to Jesus by the Father. This work reaches both Jews and non-Jews alike. It is the same gospel that Jesus preached and that His apostles continued by His grace and truth.
There is no alternative gospel and no second gospel.
All who have truly received the gospel throughout the centuries—whether through the direct preaching of Jesus or through those He sent—have received the same message. For the Gentiles, this gospel required no binding to the Law of Moses, yet it required the same thing of all: continuance.
The Holy Spirit imparts this message, inspiring faith that it is from God, presenting it with the grace and truth found in Jesus. But having received it with faith, we must continue in it and hold fast to it.
We experience the Spirit.
We see the Spirit’s work.
We hear the Spirit’s words and powerful lessons.
Yet we are commanded to hold fast to what we have experienced, seen, and heard.
Only in this way are we set free by the truth that comes from Jesus.
Some appear to experience the gifts and even miracles, but later leave them as distant memories and return to merely human ways of living. Such people become like dead leaves on a living plant, which the gardener removes and burns.
Therefore, remain in Jesus.
Hold fast to His teaching, His grace, and His truth.
What the Holy Spirit imparts—cling to it continually, so that the life of Jesus remains in you.
And if His life remains in you, you remain in Him—
alive, fruitful, and enduring.
