6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.-Galatians 3:6-9 BSB Abraham is m...

1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?  3Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh? 4Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing? 5Doe...

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.-Galatians 2:20 What an amazing reality to proclaim as a believer! What a deep truth that prevails over the doubts and fears we may have!I have been crucified with Christ. This is one of the single most important st...

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not! If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.-Galatians 2:17-18 BSB What sense does it make for us to claim the name of Christ and walk in opposition to Him? If you are in sincere in your pursuit of Christ, what sense does i...

We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners” know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.-Galatians 2:15-16 BSB One of the greatest deceptions I have run into is what I will call the "G...

But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.-Galatians 2:6 BSB It was a Sunday morning like many others. I had arrived at the church with my dad. He was setting up to play drums while I was getting my bass ready. Our worship pastor walks in and tells us that there is a lady sat outside our stage entranc...

This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.-Galatians 2:4-5 BSB Very early in my life I had to learn the valuable lesson that not everyone is who they say they are. It was jarring for me. I grew up believin...

1Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also. 2I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain. 3Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he w...

Let's join together and pray against the deception of the Church. Pray for your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that they would hold true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for your pastors and teachers that we would stay the course of the Word of God and not turn to any other doctrine. Pray for boldness to live out the truth for yourself.......

For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.-Galatians 1:11-12 BSB The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not some clever ploy of man to make people feel at peace with God. It is divine. It is spiritual. It is from God Himself. When we consider the life of Jes...

Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.-Galatians 1:10 BSB Are you a man pleaser? Or are you a God pleaser? In my childhood, I was often warned of the dangerous influences of peer pressure. But not even they knew just how large of an issue it would become. As the internet grew and eve...

I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—-As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!-Galatians 1:6, 9 BSB Matthew 24-25 is famously known as being called the Olivet Discourse. It is here that Jesus speaks of the end...

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.-Galatians 1:3-5 BSB "What does Jesus save you from?"How would you answer this question? Your answer may reveal more about your theology than you realize. For most of my life,...
