Spend time reading (more than once), taking note of key words - Galatians 1:6-10
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Questions:
What do you learn about Paul’s passion for the gospel?
What is the gospel?
How can we apply these things to our daily walks?
Things to reflect on:
The perversion of the gospel mentioned by Paul isn’t something so easy as in a rejection of God and people turning away from God. It was a message about God that you had to follow the rules and laws in order to get to God. This sounds so crazy to us but it creeps up quickly in our understanding of Christ. We have to go to church, read our Bible, pray, be a good person – that is what it means to be a Christian and the only way that God loves us and we can have a relationship with Him. Christianity is not a checklist of things to do and then God loves us. It is about God’s love for us and desire for us to come back to Him. If we accept Christ and the sacrifice that He lead down for us to cleanse us of our sins, then we have the ability to live with Him through Christ’s grace nothing more. Then we reflect Christ in our lives by living holy Christian lives.
Spend some time in prayer
