Grace In Galatiansדוגמה

Day Two - The Gospel of Grace Defined

Read Galatians 1:1-2:21

Paul affirms his divinely given apostleship and presents the gospel (Gal. 1:1-5) because it has been distorted by false teachers among the Galatians (Gal. 1:6-10). Paul launches into his biographical argument for the true gospel of justification by faith in showing that he received his message not from men but directly from God (Gal. 1:11-24). When he submits his teaching of Christian liberty to the apostles in Jerusalem, they all acknowledge the validity and authority of his message (Gal. 2:1-10). Paul also must correct Peter on the matter of freedom from the law (Gal. 2:11-21).
