Galatians 2 Part 2

“Justification Justified”

A verse by verse study of Galatians 2:11-21Galatians 2:11-21
English: World English Bible - WEB
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned. ¹² For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. ¹³ And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do? ¹⁵ “We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners, ¹⁶ yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. ¹⁷ But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not! ¹⁸ For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker. ¹⁹ For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God. ²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. ²¹ I don’t make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Galatians 2 Part 1

“Guarding Grace”

A verse by verse study of Galatians 2:1-10Galatians 2:1-10
English: World English Bible - WEB
2 ¹ Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. ² I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. ³ But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. ⁴ This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage; ⁵ to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you. ⁶ But from those who were reputed to be important —they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me, ⁷ but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Gospel for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Gospel for the circumcision ⁸ ; ⁹ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision. ¹⁰ They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.

A Slice Of Sudan

He had walked for seven days and seven nights, stopping only one hour a day to sleep, to catch a truck and ride for two more days, to be at the Far Reaching Ministries Chaplains Refresher Course. He stoically offered this information in between bites of rice and beans, in response to my question of how long he had traveled to attend the conference in Nimule, Sudan, a small village on the bank of the Nile River. Such is the life of the chaplains in the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army, which I had traveled (for a puny two days by plane) to teach the book of 2 Timothy to. [Read more]

“A Testimony Worth Telling”

A verse by verse study of Galatians 1:11-24Galatians 1:11-24
English: World English Bible - WEB
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. ¹² For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³ For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it. ¹⁴ I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. ¹⁵ But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace, ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood, ¹⁷ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus. ¹⁸ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. ¹⁹ But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord’s brother. ²⁰ Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying. ²¹ Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. ²² I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ, ²³ but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.” ²⁴ And they glorified God in me.
