Why Every Christian Must Seek to Maintain the Integrity of the Gospel

This is the seriousness of error when we add/remove anything to the gospel and work of Christ. Notice that Paul says in our text they are “deserting” Christ. The word there has a sense of change of factions or affiliation. It carries with it a tone of betrayal. This is the net effect when we add or change anything about the gospel of Jesus Christ – we abandon Christianity.
