Galatians 1

Galatians 1

Passage: Galatians 1:1-24

Speaker: Bob Mooney

Series: Galatians

Paul addresses the issue of whether converts to Christianity had to submit to the Mosaic law. The Jewish Christians argued that they did. Paul passionately disagrees. Paul gives an autobiography, emphasizing that he was called to grace, and how he experienced divine revelation.

Paul is an apostle by the authority of Jesus Christ. Christ gave himself for our sins, and to deliver us from this present evil age. The Galatians are turning to a different gospel. A curse be on any who preaches a false gospel – whether it is Paul or even an angel from heaven. The true gospel is not of men, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul gives a potted autobiography, emphasising that he was separated from his mother’s womb and called to grace, and how he experienced divine revelation.
