Why was Paul so adamant in his defense of the gospel-- Because the truth and freedom of the gospel was at stake. It was one Lord who worked through Paul and the other apostles to preach the one gospel to all nations. So, this means there was one fellowship among the disciples in building the one final temple, the church.

When we replace the gospel with the teachings of men- when we seek to please people rather than God- and when we add works to our salvation, it leads us away from the true purpose of the gospel. The gospel is a message of faith not works. The gospel transforms man. The gospel is meant to go out to the world, so that the whole world would worship God. This is the purpose of the gospel.

Liberalism wanted to use Christianity as a means to an end- for change or transformation and it became something other than Christianity. Instead Christians are called to be heavenly minded even as we live in the world and go about our daily business.

Paul warned the Galatians that they were deserting God who called them in the grace of Christ if they were accepting a 'different' gospel. How easy it is for any one of us to abandon what God has said for the sake of something new and -for us- more urgent.
