Daily Bible Reading:
Extracts From
Galatians Chapters 1,2,3
Posted: 18 May 2024 AD (GMT)
To the Galatians, Paul who was horrified said, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel..." "But even if we, or any angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed..." The gospel that Paul preached came from God and he had defended it against corruptions. He did not receive it from man nor was he taught by man, "..but it came through the revelation of Christ Jesus." Paul was never the same again. The Lord Jesus appointed Peter to minister to the Jews (the circumcised) and Paul to the Gentiles (the uncircumcised). Paul recounted that he openly opposed Peter in Antioch when he was not straight forward about the truth of the gospel. Peter favoured the circumcised above the uncircumcised. He maintained, "For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God." He then decried the Galatians saying, "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, ..." He got them to understand that the law brought a curse as it was written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue... in the book of the law." But then, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us ... that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." The more you know Jesus, the more you want to know Him and the more you will change and never be the same again, in Jesus name. AMEN
