Sermon Overview
What Is the Most Dangerous Temptation Facing Christians in 2026?
As we enter a new year, many of us are thinking about resolutions, goals, and the challenges ahead. But there's one question we should all be asking ourselves: What is the most dangerous temptation facing us in 2026?
While some might point to marital unfaithfulness, financial dishonesty, or pride as their biggest struggles, there's actually a more dangerous temptation that could affect not just how we live on earth, but how people spend eternity. That temptation is giving people a confusing gospel instead of a clear one.
Why Is Gospel Clarity So Important?
Paul expressed his shock in Galatians 1:6-7 when he wrote, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from him that called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ."
Time magazine once made a striking observation about religion in America: "It seems like churches today are unsure what the message is." This uncertainty about the gospel message is alarming because the gospel should be the one message that everyone clearly understands.
What Exactly Is the Gospel?
The clearest definition of the gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, where Paul uses four verbs to explain it:
Christ Died
Christ died for our sins - not to show us how to die, but to die in our place. He was our substitute, taking the punishment we deserved.
He Was Buried
His burial proves that He actually died. You don't bury living people; you bury those who have died.
He Rose Again
The resurrection is the most proven fact in history. Christ arose and remains risen - there will never be a newspaper headline announcing the discovery of His body.
He Was Seen
Just as His burial proves He died, the fact that He was seen by witnesses proves He rose from the dead.
The Gospel in Ten Words
The entire gospel can be summarized in just ten words: "Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead." That's it. The Bible contains 66 books, but God's message to us is contained in these ten simple words.
What Does It Mean to Pervert the Gospel?
Paul uses incredibly strong language in Galatians 1:8-9, saying that anyone who preaches a different gospel should be "accursed" - meaning they should suffer God's discipline. He was so concerned about this that he repeated the warning twice.
The perversion Paul was addressing came from the Judaizers, who taught that faith in Christ wasn't enough - you also needed to follow Jewish law and customs. Today, we see similar perversions when people add requirements to the gospel:
Gospel of Grace Period vs. Gospel of Grace Plus
Here's the crucial distinction we must understand: If we don't give people the gospel of grace period instead of the gospel of grace plus, we haven't given them the gospel at all.
The gospel is not Christ plus anything else. It's Christ, period. Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, not faith in Christ plus our works, our baptism, our church attendance, or our good behavior.
How Do We Confuse the Gospel?
Confusing Terminology
We often use phrases that aren't biblical, like "invite Jesus into your heart" or "give your life to Christ." The Bible simply says to believe in Christ or trust Him as your personal Savior.
Confusing Salvation and Discipleship
Salvation happens in a moment when you trust Christ. Discipleship is the lifelong process of following Him. Don't confuse the two - you can be saved even when you're struggling in your discipleship.
Confusing Entering the Christian Life with Living It
First you enter the Christian life through faith in Christ, then you live it out day by day. Coming to Christ doesn't guarantee a perfect marriage, constant happiness, or a problem-free life. It guarantees eternal life and a relationship with God.
Why Clarity Matters
When we speak about Christ, we shouldn't just speak in a way that can be understood - we should speak in a way that cannot be misunderstood. The stakes are too high for confusion when it comes to eternal matters.
Less than 10% of Christians in America can clearly explain what the gospel is. This is tragic when the message is so simple: Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead.
Life Application
This week, challenge yourself to memorize and practice sharing the gospel in its simplest form: "Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead." When you have opportunities to share your faith, focus on this clear, biblical message rather than adding extra requirements or using confusing terminology.
Ask yourself these questions:

- "You must believe in Christ AND be baptized"
- "You must believe in Christ AND attend church regularly"

Ask yourself these questions:
- Can I clearly explain the gospel in ten words or less?
- Am I adding anything to the simple message of faith in Christ alone?
- When I share my faith, am I speaking in a way that cannot be misunderstood?
- Are there people in my life who need to hear the clear gospel message?
Devo 1 – The Most Dangerous Temptation
Devotional
As we step into a new year, we naturally think about the challenges ahead. What temptations will we face? Perhaps you're concerned about maintaining integrity in your workplace, staying faithful in your marriage, or managing your finances wisely. These are all legitimate concerns, but there's one temptation that surpasses them all in its potential for eternal damage. The most dangerous temptation facing believers today isn't a moral failure that affects our earthly life—it's the temptation to present a confusing gospel instead of a clear one. When we muddy the waters of salvation, we're not just affecting someone's quality of life; we're potentially affecting their eternal destiny. Paul was astonished when the Galatian believers began turning to a different gospel. His shock wasn't over their moral failures but over their confusion about the very message that saves. This should give us pause. If the apostle Paul was deeply concerned about gospel clarity, how much more should we be? The stakes couldn't be higher. Every conversation about faith, every attempt to share Christ, every explanation of salvation carries eternal weight. When we're unclear about the gospel, we risk leading people away from the very truth that could save them. This isn't about being perfect in our presentation—it's about being clear about what matters most. Today, let's commit to understanding the gospel so clearly that we can share it without confusion. The eternal destiny of those around us may depend on it.
Bible Verse
'I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.' - Galatians 1:6-7
Reflection Question
When you think about sharing your faith with others, what aspects of the gospel message do you find most challenging to explain clearly, and how might confusion in these areas affect someone's understanding of salvation?
Quote

Prayer
Lord, help me to understand the gospel so clearly that I can share it without confusion. Guard my heart against the temptation to complicate Your simple message of grace. Give me wisdom to speak truth in a way that brings clarity, not confusion, to those who need to hear about Your love. Amen.

Devo 2 – The Power of Ten Words
Devotional
In our complex world, we often assume that important messages require lengthy explanations. We write detailed proposals, create comprehensive presentations, and craft elaborate arguments. But what if the most important message in human history could be communicated in just ten simple words? The gospel—the message that has the power to transform lives and secure eternal destinies—can indeed be summarized in ten words: 'Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead.' These aren't just any ten words; they contain the entire hope of humanity. Think about the beauty of this simplicity. A child can understand it. A scholar can spend a lifetime exploring its depths. A dying person can grasp it in their final moments. A new believer can share it immediately. This isn't because the gospel lacks depth—it's because God designed His message to be accessible to everyone. Yet despite this beautiful simplicity, less than 10% of Christians in America can clearly articulate what the gospel is. We've somehow taken the most straightforward message ever given and made it complicated. We've added layers, conditions, and requirements that God never intended. The power isn't in our eloquence or theological sophistication—it's in the simple truth that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead. When we trust in this truth, everything changes. When we share this truth clearly, lives are transformed. Today, let's embrace the beautiful simplicity of the gospel. Let's memorize these ten words and let them shape how we understand and share our faith.
Bible Verse
'Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.' - 1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Reflection Question
If someone asked you to explain the gospel in the simplest terms possible, could you do it clearly in ten words or less, and what does this reveal about your own understanding of salvation?
Quote
The Bible is 66 books, but the message God contested with us is 10 words.
Prayer
Father, thank You for making the gospel simple enough for anyone to understand. Help me to embrace this beautiful simplicity and resist the temptation to complicate Your clear message. Give me confidence to share these ten powerful words with others who need to hear them. Amen.

Devo 3 – Grace Period, Not Grace Plus
Devotional
Have you ever received a gift with strings attached? Maybe someone gave you something generous but then expected certain behaviors or favors in return. It changes everything, doesn't it? What seemed like a gift suddenly feels like a transaction. This is exactly what happens when we present the gospel as 'grace plus' instead of 'grace period.' We take God's free gift of salvation and add our own requirements: 'Believe in Jesus and commit to church attendance.' 'Trust in Christ and promise to change your lifestyle.' 'Accept salvation and dedicate your life to service.' While these things may be good and even expected outcomes of genuine faith, they are not requirements for salvation. When we add anything to the simple gospel message, we fundamentally change it. We transform grace into a transaction, a gift into a contract. The truth is, salvation is not about you giving God your life—it's about Him giving you His. You don't earn it, maintain it, or contribute to it. Christ did everything necessary on the cross. Your part is simply to believe and receive. This doesn't mean discipleship isn't important—it absolutely is. But we must never confuse salvation with discipleship. First, you come to Christ for salvation. Then, you walk after Him in discipleship. The order matters because eternity hangs in the balance. When we present a clear gospel of grace period, we give people the gift God intended. When we muddy it with additions, we risk giving them no gospel at all.
Bible Verse
'For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures' - 1 Corinthians 15:3
Reflection Question
In what ways might you have unconsciously added requirements to the gospel message when sharing your faith, and how can you ensure you're presenting grace period rather than grace plus?
Quote
If we do not give people the gospel of grace period instead of gospel of grace plus, we have not given them the gospel at all.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of salvation that requires nothing from me but faith. Help me to never add to Your finished work on the cross. When I share the gospel, let me present Your grace clearly and simply, without conditions or requirements that You never intended. Amen.

Devo 4 – Speak to Be Understood
Devotional
Communication is tricky. We can say one thing and have it heard completely differently. We can use words that make perfect sense to us but leave others confused. In most areas of life, miscommunication is inconvenient. In matters of eternal significance, it can be devastating. When it comes to sharing the gospel, we cannot afford to be misunderstood. This isn't about using perfect theological language or having all the answers to every question. It's about being intentionally clear about what matters most: how someone can be saved. Too often, we speak in Christian jargon that sounds foreign to those outside the faith. We use terms like 'accept Jesus into your heart,' 'make Jesus Lord of your life,' or 'commit your life to Christ' without explaining what these phrases actually mean. While our intentions are good, our unclear communication can leave people confused about what salvation actually requires. The goal isn't just to be understood—it's to speak in a way that cannot be misunderstood. This means using clear, simple language. It means explaining what we mean by faith, sin, and salvation. It means being specific about what someone needs to do to be saved: believe that Christ died for their sins and rose from the dead. When we're clear in our communication, we honor both the message and the listener. We give them the best possible chance to understand and respond to the gospel. After all, if someone truly understands the gospel, how can they not share it with others?
Bible Verse
'and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures' - 1 Corinthians 15:4
Reflection Question
When you share your faith, what Christian terms or phrases do you use that might confuse someone unfamiliar with church language, and how could you express these truths more clearly?
Quote
Don't speak in a way that can be understood. Speak in a way that cannot be misunderstood.
Prayer
God, give me wisdom to communicate Your truth clearly and simply. Help me to avoid confusing language and to speak in ways that cannot be misunderstood. When I share the gospel, let my words be a bridge to understanding, not a barrier to faith. Amen.

Devo 5 – The Message Worth Everything
Devotional
What would you be willing to sacrifice to share the most important message in the world? Would you travel across dangerous terrain? Would you endure hardship and persecution? Would you give up comfort and security? Throughout history, countless believers have done exactly that to share the gospel. They've crossed oceans, learned new languages, and faced hostile cultures—all because they understood the eternal significance of this message. They knew that the gospel isn't just good news; it's the only news that can rescue people from eternal separation from God. Yet today, many of us struggle to share this same message with our neighbors, coworkers, and friends. We have unprecedented access to people through technology, we live in relative safety and freedom, and we speak the same language as those around us. So why do we hesitate? Perhaps it's because we've lost sight of what's truly at stake. Christ didn't die on the cross so people could have better marriages or more fulfilling careers—though these may be wonderful byproducts of faith. He died because without Him, people are headed for eternal separation from God. When we truly grasp this reality, sharing the gospel becomes not just an opportunity but an urgent necessity. Every person we encounter is someone for whom Christ died. Every conversation is a potential bridge to eternal life. The message of the gospel is worth everything because it offers everything—forgiveness, new life, and eternal hope. If we really understand this truth, how can we keep it to ourselves?
Bible Verse
'But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.' - Galatians 1:8
Reflection Question
If you truly believed that the gospel is the most important message someone could ever hear, how would this change the way you prioritize and approach sharing your faith with others?
Quote
If there's one message we ought to be willing to travel across the world on broken glass and tell people it's the message of the Gospel.
Prayer
Lord, help me to see the gospel through Your eyes—as the most precious message in the world. Give me courage to share it boldly and clarity to share it well. Let me never forget that this message has the power to change lives and secure eternal destinies. Use me to be a faithful messenger of Your grace. Amen.
