The Christian gospel is not a pliable message that can be molded into something new to fit changing times. It has a fixed content that the Church is called to proclaim, protect, and pass down to future generations. But there will always be pressure to amend or adjust the gospel. Either by subtraction or addition. By denying/downplaying central truths of the gospel. Or by requiring certain beliefs/ practices to supplement one’s faith in Christ. Either way, the gospel is lost. This is why Christians of every generation must be clear in their grasp of the gospel and courageous in their defense of it.
