Galatians 1

1 Paul, an apostle--not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead-- 2 and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Talk Sheet Questions

  1. Have you ever heard someone say, “Christianity is just an invention of ancient, superstitious people?” What difference does it make if it is from people and not from God? (1)

  2. How have you been delivered from “this present evil age?” (4)

  3. Are there any clues in these verses about what the true gospel is?

  4. Can you identify any “other” gospels that are in circulation today?

  5. Do you find yourself being a “people pleaser?” (10) What can you do to remedy that?

Prayer

Pray that we will remain loyal to the true gospel.
