Galatians–Colossians (King James Version) To Whom Written

3. The indication is that Paul and the recipients of the letter did not know one another. The word “heard” is used instead of the word “know” (Ep. 1:15; 3:2).

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.” (If We Faint Not.)

Psalm 1:3 “And so, he is like a tree planted by streams of water that gives its fruit in its season; its leaf also does not wither. Therefore all that he does prospers.” (Whatsoever He Doeth Shall Prosper

Isaiah 40:29 “He gives power to the weary, and he increases power for the powerless.”

Isaiah 40:30 “Even young people will be faint and grow weary, and the young will stumble, exhausted.”

Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall go up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not be faint.”

NOW: There is a Particular of the Year that the Harvest will Occur.

First the ground Has to be broken up the talks about that in the Hosea 1

Hosea 1 LEB

The word of Yahweh that came to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. At the beginning when Yahweh spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife and children of whoredom, because the land commits great whoredom forsaking Yahweh.” So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. And Yahweh said to him, “Name him Jezreel; because in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.” And she conceived again and bore a daughter, and he said to him, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have pity on the house of Israel or forgive them. But I will have pity on the house of Judah and I will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, war, horses, or horsemen. And when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. And he said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not my people and I am not your God. The number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea that cannot be measured or counted; and in the place where it is said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “Children of the living God.” Then the children of Judah and Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head; and they will take possession of the land, for great is the day of Jezreel.

Galatians–Colossians (King James Version) A. God’s Minister and His Authority—Paul, 1:1–5

DIVISION I

GREETING, 1:1–9

A. God’s Minister and His Authority—Paul, 1:1–5

(1:1–5) Introduction: Paul’s greeting to the Galatians is different from his greetings to other churches. He was writing under heavy stress and strain. False teachers and critics had arisen in the church who were criticizing and attacking him. They were questioning his call to the ministry and his authority as God’s messenger. Some were even questioning the very gospel itself. Therefore, the usual affection expressed toward churches and individuals is missing. From the very first sentence his writing is abrupt. He assails the Galatian churches with words straight to the point: he is a true minister of God, a true apostle and messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ.

1. He is commissioned by God alone (v. 1).

2. He is recognized as God’s man by Christian believers (v. 2).

3. He wishes the very best for other believers (v. 3).

4. He declares the work of Christ (vv. 4–5).

1 (1:1) Minister—Call—Apostle: the minister of God is called and commissioned by God alone. There were those in the church who questioned Paul’s call and ministry, questioned if he had really been called by God to be a minister. They were set on destroying Paul’s ministry. Why?

⇒ Because he had lived such a terrible life before his conversion: he had been the savage persecutor of believers (see Ga. 1:13; see notes—Ac. 8:1–4; 9:1–2 for more discussion).

⇒ Because he was not one of the select officials of the church; that is, he had not been taught by the Lord Himself when the Lord was on earth. This was one of the basic qualifications for being recognized as an apostle (see Ga. 1:17–18; see DEEPER STUDY # 5, Apostle—Mt. 10:2 for more discussion).

⇒ Because he had not been appointed by the official or mother church, that is, the home church of the apostles, the church in Jerusalem (see Ga. 1:17–18).

⇒ Because he by-passed the religious forms and rituals of the official church (see Ga. 4:9–10; 5:6; 6:12–15).

⇒ Because he preached a different message than the official church: that a person is not saved by ritual and works, but by the love and grace of God demonstrated in the death of Jesus Christ (Ga. 1:4–9; 2:16; 3:1f, esp. v. 10, 11, DEEPER STUDY # 2, 3).

Galatians–Colossians (King James Version) A. God’s Minister and His Authority—Paul, 1:1–5

3 (1:3) Minister—Grace—Peace: the minister wishes the very best for other believers. The minister, Paul, wanted the believers of Galatia to experience the grace and peace of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Note again how the deity of Jesus Christ is proclaimed: He is placed side by side with God.)

a. Grace (charis) means the undeserved favor and blessings of God. (See notes—Ro. 4:16; DEEPER STUDY # 1—1 Co. 1:4; DEEPER STUDY # 1—Tit. 2:11–15.) The word undeserved is the key to understanding grace. Man does not deserve God’s favor; he cannot earn God’s approval and blessings. God is too high and man is too low for man to deserve anything from God. Man is imperfect and God is perfect; therefore, man cannot expect anything from God. (See note and DEEPER STUDY # 1, Justification—Ga. 2:15–16 for more discussion.) Man has reacted against God too much. Man has …

• rejected God

• rebelled against God

• ignored God

• neglected God

• cursed God

• sinned against God

• disobeyed God

• denied God

• questioned God

Man deserves nothing from God except judgment, condemnation, and punishment. But God is love—perfect and absolute love. Therefore, God makes it possible for man to experience His grace, in particular the favor and blessing of salvation which is in His Son, Jesus Christ. (See DEEPER STUDY # 1, Grace—1 Co. 1:4 for more discussion.)

“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Ro. 3:24).

“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Co. 8:9).

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace” (Ep. 1:7).

“That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus” (Ep. 2:7).

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Ph. 4:19).

“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus” (1 Ti. 1:14).

b. Peace (eirene) means to be bound, joined, and weaved together with God and with everyone else. It means to be assured, confident, and secure in the love and care of God. It means to have a sense, a consciousness, and a knowledge that God will …

A person can experience true peace only as he comes to know Jesus Christ. Only Christ can bring peace to the human heart, the kind of peace that brings deliverance and assurance to the human soul.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (Jn. 14:27).

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (Jn. 16:33).

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ro. 5:1).

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Ro. 8:6).

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” (Ga. 5:22–23).

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord only makest me dwell in safety” (Ps. 4:8).
