 August 3, 2013 – Galatians 1
Dear
Saints,
Galatians an Overview;
”The
churches in Galatia were formed partly of converted Jews, and
partly of Gentile converts, as was generally the case. St. Paul
asserts his apostolic character and the doctrines he taught, that
he might confirm the Galatian churches in the faith of Christ,
especially with respect to the important point of justification by
faith alone. Thus the subject is mainly the same as that which is
discussed in the epistle to the Romans, that is, justification by
faith alone. In this epistle, however, attention is particularly
directed to the point, that men are justified by faith without the
works of the law of Moses. Of the importance of the doctrines
prominently set forth in this epistle, Luther thus speaks: "We
have to fear as the greatest and nearest danger, lest Satan take
from us this doctrine of faith, and bring into the church again
the doctrine of works and of men's traditions. Wherefore it is
very necessary that this doctrine be kept in continual practice
and public exercise, both of reading and hearing. If this doctrine
be lost, then is also the doctrine of truth, life and salvation,
lost and gone."” - Matthew Henry Commentary Concise
The
apostle Paul greets the saints at Galatia emphasizing his
apostleship. He warns the Galatians about turning from the gospel
of Christ by listening to false teachers. Paul tells the the
saints in Galatia that he could not be a servant of Christ if he
was seeking mans approval. He tells them about his ministry and
what he had seen as he served Jesus. “18
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and
remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other
apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing
to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21 Then I went into the regions
of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to the
churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it
said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he
once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of
me.”
Galatians 1:18-23 English Standard
Version (ESV). Where has your walk with Jesus taken you? Are you
sure of your faith? With whom do you share Jesus? “But
the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on
the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the
Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks on the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7 ESV.
Jesus makes it very clear concerning who we should share His love
with (see John 3-16).
Can you still hear Jesus calling; “sinner com home!” He won’t call forever, now is the time to answer his call. Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the following link; This Feast belongs to Jesus you may share it anywhere with any and all! The Feast
