It intrigues me how Paul could see so clearly that the Galatians were departing from the gospel. We live in an age of pluralism. It is so much easier to get on with others in a pluralistic society, if we say everyone can believe whatever they like. We set aside truth for the sake of political correctness. Someone like Paul is called dogmatic. How did Paul discern the Spirit’s voice from the devil’s voice? The devil proposed another gospel, one that said you can do your own good works and God will appreciate your sincere efforts. Paul saw this as sincerely wrong. Sincerity is a display of emotion. It is not a proof of truth.
