Day 1 - Galatians

Greetings
Spend time reading and marking up Galatians 1:1-5
1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2and all the brothers with me,
To the churches in Galatia:
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Questions:

What are some key phrases that you can pick up just from the greeting that Paul wrote to the churches in Galatia?


What does it mean to be rescued from the present evil age?


How can we apply these things to our daily walks?


Things to reflect on:
Paul wrote “sent not from men nor by man”. This is an important phrase for him as he didn’t want to be seen as one doing things to please man or do things because people told him to. He wanted to please God in everything he did. There were many that were actually criticizing and persecuting Paul. There were also people following their own ways, although they were saying they were part of God’s chosen people. How do we do that? Are we following what people say or even trying to just please people or are we doing and following God as the thing that is the most important?
