9Marks Journal: The Gospel (Revista 9Semne: Evanghelia)

What does Jude mean when he says “to contend for the faith”? What does Peter mean when he says “be on your guard”? What does John mean when warns a church to not “even greet” false teachers? What does Paul mean when he says to let anyone with an alternative gospel—my goodness—“be eternally condemned”? Until this world is ended, the gospel will be challenged from places high and low. It will be tweaked and twisted, denounced and denied. And most fundamentally, Christ calls local churches—not seminaries, not presbyteries, not synods, not theologians, not publishers to defend the gospel. It’s the people in the pews and the pulpits whom these apostles address.
