Intro to Galatians True Freedom in Godly Living

Charachter Choices

The God who speaks light into existence; who speaks things into existence;

Speaks light and life into our soul; let there be light in our soul and boom light comes into our being

When He does we are able to see the glory of God; the face of Christ

Our part is to turn His part is to reveal- SAY THAT WITH ME

Whenever a person turns the veil is lifted- our attitude has to change before revelation has to be given

thougth the reverse had to happen

1st step; stop refusing the truth

We form our character from the time we’re born

Character is the accumulation of the CHOICES we make

This forms patterns and tendencies we have in life

The revelation of the choices we make

How do we respond

When I am in a situation where if I tell the truth am I about to lie or buck up and take what comes?

People make choices and they make lots of them from the time they are going to take cookies out of jar to am I going to embezzle money

That pattern is formed in you through life

?What are some choices that have been given to you that you had a choice?

Some people don’t want to obey God because they like what they are doing.

Some want to feel like they are

Where & Why

-Paul & Barnabas just completed 1st missionary journey.

-Galatia was a large region with a fertile plateau.

-Pauls goals during his missionary journeys was to visit regions with large population centers in order to reach as many people as possible.

The Jewish Christians disagreed with Paul’s statements that a person is justified through faith alone in Jesus Christ. They believed that there must be some sort of works attached to this.

whom are we trying please

English Standard Version Chapter 1

6 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— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 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. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Paul Called by God
