The gospel eventually solves all of our problems. That’s why it is the backbone of a healthy spiritual diet. And, that’s why Paul was furious with the Galatians for trading in the gospel in exchange for something that amounted to spiritual junk food. . .

Wrap your arms around the cross of Jesus. Drink deeply of the medicine of his forgiving love. Cling tightly to his promises that he has done everything necessary for you to go to heaven. And don’t let anybody ever take this gospel away from you.

The pure gospel tastes good (because it lifts the pressure off your shoulders and gives you certainty of eternal life.) The pure gospel is good for you (because through it God connects you to him in bonds of faith that start now and last through all eternity.) And as such. . .the pure gospel is a spiritual food worth sharing.
