Main Reading: Galatians 2:17-21 If you know me, you know I have a lot of Bibles. But I only own one Bible-carrying case....It was a gift from my girlfriend, and it came personalized with my name and favorite Bible verse on it. In this article, we’ll cover that verse which sits atop the cover of my grey NET cloth over board bible; Galatians 2:20. I hope that, maybe, this fun fact will fuel your interest…Maybe, now, you’ll want to see why I would choose that verse over the t

Main Reading: Galatians 2:15-16 “We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified” In the last article, I focused on this little word: “justification.” It’s primarily a legal word. A verdict. A declaration

Main Reading: Galatians 2:15-16 If you walked up to 10 people and asked them “are you going to Heaven and why?” what do you think most of them would say?“I’ve tried to be a decent person.” “I go to church.” “I’m better than some people, and I hope that’s enough.” Thankfully, the Bible doesn’t leave that question up in the air…And that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about in this passage. v. 15-16 “We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a p

Main Reading: Galatians 2:11-14 “But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel

Main Reading: Galatians 2:1-10 “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. Yet because of false brothers secretly

Main Reading: Galatians 1:11-24 “For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the tradi

Main Reading: Galatians 1:6-10 “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gos

Main Reading: Galatians 1:1-5 “Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” There’s no room to doubt who w
