S1 Ep178-179 - Galatians 1 & 2

The book of Galatians is what is called an  “epistle,” or letter. Paul (formerly Saul) is writing it to the churches in Galatia.

He admonishes them about turning to a different gospel than the one he preached to them. Some people are throwing them into confusion. In verse 8 he says: “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!”

He reminds them in verse 12: “I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.”

 

In chapter 2, Paul continues his account of his journey.

He shares how he opposed Peter (also called Cephas) because Peter was trying to make the gentiles get circumcised like the Jews. He knew that Peter was wrong for trying to make the gentiles follow Jewish customs.
