Galatians Part 1
(Galatians Chapter 1, Revelation 22:18-19, Acts 9:1-19)
Galatians 1:11-12 11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Paul is trying to get their attention by telling them how he is astonished that they took so little time in allowing themselves to be L______ A__________ by false teachers. He is also emphasizing that there is only one true gospel and that is the gospel of Christ.
Paul is making it clear that God’s Word is not to be T_________ with and we are not to listen to any gospel other that the gospel that was taught by Christ.
Paul was C_______________ by God.
The Bible is the only authoritative word of God and anything that is in conflict with scripture needs to be D____________ and D_______________.
Remember that Paul is very new in his A________________ and is not really welcome anywhere in Christian society because to them he is still Saul the K____________ of Christians and a Pharisee to be feared.
Paul meets with Peter and James. Who better to recognize the impact of Jesus on a person than someone who walked with him for three years and was part of his I__________ C____________ or someone who G_______ U___ with him.
Take Away Lesson: God wants us to know that the Gospel of Christ is the one true gospel and that there is no other gospel that is true.
Galatians 1:15-16 15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.
