Introduction
We learn something about Paul's life in this epistle not reported elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g.
1:17-24).
We also see how the Galatia churches faced a challenge to the gospel.
The principles in these chapters are relevant for all time.
Galatians 1:17–24 (NIV)
Perverting the Gospel (1:6-10)
Even in the earliest days of Christianity, false teaching was apparent.
Paul didn't over look it, pretending it did not exist; neither did he minimize it, saying it doesn't matter.
The Judaizers were teaching that a Gentile had to undergo circumcision, becoming a Jew before he could be a Christian.
This was not the gospel that Paul and his colleagues had preached, it had become a perverted version of the gospel.
The truth, as he explained later (2:15-21), is that all people - Jews or Gentiles - are saved by faith in Christ, not by obeying the Mosaic law.
Presenting the Gospel (1:11-2:10)
Paul's message was revealed by Jesus.
In these autobiographical lines, the apostle explains that the source of his gospel was not from any man, but direct revelation from the Christ whom he met on the road to Damascus (see Acts 22:1-16).
Paul's message was confirmed by the apostles (2:1-10) as they accepted Paul and encouraged him in his ministry to the Gentiles.
Protecting the Gospel (2:11-21)
The gospel needs to be defended (2:11-16).
Paul confronted even his close friends Peter and Barnabas when they were in error.
The gospel demands that all people bring their doctrine into harmony with it, regardless of popular opinion.
The gospel needs to be demonstrated (2:17-21).
Godly living is the mark of a believer.
Galatians 2:20 provides a wonderful goal for each Christian.
The attacks of the ungodly are silenced by righteous living (1 Peter 2:15).
Big Idea: The Gospel can become something it isn't, we must make sure the Gospel message is rooted in Christ, then live our lives according to it.
