True discipleship involves abiding in the Gospel and allowing it to work in and through us. It is not about following a legalistic set of rules, but rather about understanding and trusting in Christ as our righteousness, sanctification, and reward. Loving one another and recognizing our fellow believers as sons and daughters of God is also a crucial aspect of true discipleship. The Gospel is the source and foundation of true discipleship, and through it, we bear fruit and become fully assured in our relationship with Christ. By abiding in Him, we allow Him to settle down and make His home in our hearts, and we become part of Him, “bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.” (John 4:14, John 7:37-38, John 8:32, 1 Corinthians 12:27)

Learn about the thieves and robbers who oppose the Gospel of grace. These individuals have not entered through the door, which is Jesus, and speak against the simplicity of the Gospel. They aim to steal, kill, and destroy by deceiving believers and speaking against the message of faith. Jesus describes them as thieves and robbers who come to steal precious treasures, which is the Gospel of grace. Beware of hirelings who do not care for the sheep and enable the wolves to run around freely. Look for the porters who know the shepherd’s voice and speak the truth without compromise. Keep your focus on Jesus Christ, the true and only way to salvation. Keywords: Gospel, Jesus Christ, Thieves and Robbers, Deception, Simplicity of the Gospel, Faith, Grace.

The gospel is a message of freedom, assurance, and inheritance, but it can be offensive to legalists. Legalists see righteousness as a matter of law-keeping and are offended by the notion that Christ’s righteousness secures salvation and gives confidence in our relationship with Him. The gospel emphasizes inheritance as the positive focus, as we see in the Epistles. According to 1 Peter 1:3-4, we have been born again to a “living hope” and an “inheritance incorruptible” that is reserved for us. The gospel is Good News that God has made peace with man and has good will toward man, but legalists tend to focus on God’s wrath towards sin and find it difficult to accept that God has made peace with man. Our growth in the Christian life comes as we learn to stand fast in the liberty that we have in Christ, relying on the Spirit and enjoying the graciousness and goodness of God.
