“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” 2 Corinthians 13:14
Notice that one must go through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ before finding the love of God.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9
That pretty much rules out any respectability for Joseph Smith and his Mormon Moroni angel.
“For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:” Galatians 1:13
Just a note for any Campbellite readers: The term “church of God” is found three times in the Bible while the term “church of Christ” isn’t found once.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
A great memory verse for every believer. As one brother put it, the only good Christian is a dead Christian. Only by being crucified with Christ and being dead to self can we truly serve God by allowing Christ to live in and through us.
“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.” Galatians 3:8
Notice how the Holy Spirit attributes a personality to the scriptures. Furthermore, notice that ”the scripture” was preached to Abraham before any written scripture existed. God’s voice, or God’s word, to Abraham was scripture, even though it wasn’t written until over four hundred years later.
