Caution, the moving walkway is ending.\u201d If you\u2019ve ever used an automated walkway at an airport, you\u2019ve heard this kind of announcement repeatedly.<\/div>\n<div>Why do airports repeat this announcement over and over? To ensure safety and to protect them from liability if someone were to be injured.<\/div>\n<div>Repeated announcements can be annoying, but they do have value. As a matter of fact, the apostle Paul thought repeating a warning was so vital that he did it in the text of Galatians. But his statement had value far beyond the danger of tripping at the airport. Paul warned them not to listen to, nor believe, him or an angel from heaven if they preached \u201cany other gospel\u201d than what they had already heard (1:8). In the next verse, Paul said it again. It was a warning worth repeating. The Galatians had begun to believe that their salvation was dependent on good works instead of the true gospel: faith in Christ\u2019s work.<\/div>\n<div>The gospel of Jesus\u2014His death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins\u2014is the story that we have the privilege and responsibility to share.
