Why You Can’t Hustle Holy // Fake (Good) News Cornerstone Church

Has anyone ever told you they have good news—but then they start talking? And as they do, you realize this “good news” isn’t actually that GOOD. That’s what happened 2,000 years ago at a church in the city of Galatia. The Good News of the Gospel message was being distorted and mangled into something different—something that was not the Gospel. In an effort to fight this fake news, the Apostle Paul wrote that church a letter, calling them back to the true Gospel…a letter we know as the biblical book of Galatians. Now here we are 2,000 years later, and Paul’s call back to the centrality of the Gospel is as timely today as it was then—a much-needed reminder of why the Gospel is Good News.
Have you ever auditioned for a role? Tried out for a team? Interviewed for a job? If so, you know you had to meet requirements to land the position, to get the spot, or to be hired. But when it comes to salvation in Jesus, the traditional “try harder” mindsets are no more. We don’t pursue holiness to get accepted—we pursue it because we’re already accepted!
Galatians 5:5-6, 13-25
