Intro:
TS: Paul closes with his final attack against the heresy of the Judaizers and their motives and restating his motives.
Paul’s Deep Concern
Gal 6:
large letters
Due to poor eyesight, he had to write large letters.
He wrote in large block letters usually reserved for public notices instead of the normal cursive of a scribe.
Either interpretation works here.
What would be the significance if he used a style of large font normally reserved for public notices?
ANS: compare it to all caps online today
He is yelling at them!
Own hand
the use of the wording in the Greek indicates taht Paul had forgone the normal use of a scribe and had written the letter in his own hand.
We see in both of these phrases, how serious Paul took this issue.
He wrote himself instead of dictating
He wrote in large letters to stress his point.
Paul was emphatic that they get the gospel right!
How serious is it that we get the gospel correct?
Ans:
The Pretenders
Judaizers were concerned about appearances
“make a good showing”
They were motivated by religious pride and a desire to impress others.
What did Jesus say about such motives in Matthew 6:1-7?
They sought to compel Gentiles to be circumcised.
They sought to avoid persecution due to the cross.
They wanted to still blend in with the Jews.
Worried about personal safety instead of doctrine.
They avoided all the issues which might have come with identifying with Jesus
What negative things might have come to them if they had over identified with Jesus?
They boast in the flesh.
They don’t keep the Law
They seek to boast in the flesh of the Galatians.
If they had become circumcised, the Judiazers would count that as a victory.
The Cross is all that Counts.
“boast” lit.
means praise
Paul glorifies and praises God for the sacrifice of Jesus
Let us notice Peter and Paul’s attitudes in the following verses: , , .
The world is crucified to Paul and Paul to the world.
He again goes back to freedom Christ has brought.
What had Paul said in Galatians 2:20?
The world is dead to believers and we are dead to the world.
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters anymore.
What matters is that we are a new creation in Jesus.
Final Words of Benediction
peace and mercy.
Peace comes from our relationship to God
Mercy is the forgiveness of sins.
