Chapter 1. Who is the author of Galatians? The author of Galatians is the Apostle Paul. 1. Internal Evidence (The text itself) Galatians clearly reveals its author at the beginning of the epistle.“Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead)” (Galatians 1:1).Also, in Galatians chapters 1 and 2, Paul details autobiographi...

Galatians Chapter 1 is the introduction to the letter the Apostle Paul sent to the various churches of Galatia, and a defense regarding the source and absoluteness of the gospel he preached. The churches of Galatia were being shaken by a different gospel due to the deception of legalists, and the Apostle Paul strongly testifies that only the gospel he preached is the true gospel that did not come...

[Question] 1. Through whom was Paul’s office of apostle given? The prologue of Galatians Chapter 1 begins with the Apostle Paul clearly nailing down the source of his office of apostle. This question is not simply about one person’s resume, but it holds great significance because it is a question about the very method by which God establishes a person as God’s worker. Let us examine the source of...

The gospel submitted in Jerusalem and the secret infiltration of false brothers “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. Yet not even Titus w...

The Apostle Paul says this in verse 1: “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.” The Bible does not express Paul’s going up to Jerusalem as ‘going up to the general assembly of the early church held in Jerusalem.’ The Bible does not use such political words. It simply said, “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barna...

Glad to see you. This evening, I would like to share grace together with the words from Galatians chapter 2, verses 16 to 21. Did you all have a good meal? You did? That is good. Once a person’s stomach is full and their mind is at peace, the Word of God enters their heart well, and so on. If your mind is noisy and you are hungry, you cannot hear the Word of God. Therefore, have a good meal, put y...

[Question] 1. Apostle Paul was an apostle sent to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit to the Gentiles. Please explain the fact that he testified the gospel of the water and the Spirit to the Gentiles. Apostle Paul, unlike the other apostles, was not a disciple who directly followed Jesus during His public ministry period, but rather was a scholar of the law who persecuted the church. How...

Galatians chapter 3 is a chapter where the Apostle Paul acutely unravels the truth that “one becomes righteous only by the faith believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit” toward the Galatian church members who are shaken by the deception of false teachers forcing the works of the law, especially circumcision. The core of it is to accept like a little child that once-and-for-all salvatio...

Saints, what is the first word that the Apostle Paul throws at the saints of the Galatian church with such a strong tone in Galatians chapter 3? “O foolish Galatians!” (Galatians 3:1). This single word is not a simple rebuke. Inside the Apostle Paul’s heart, there was full of spiritual sorrow that could not bear to just watch the sight of the Galatian saints being dragged back under the curse of t...

It is already Wednesday evening. Tomorrow, we will finish the morning and afternoon sessions, and the day after tomorrow, we will return home. Everyone, I hope you sleep with a warm fire lit tonight. It will be cold at night, so light the fire sufficiently. Even if you turn on a fan, if the floor is cold, it is easy to get sick. Following today’s daytime session, I intend to preach the word in the...

In fact, before we knew the gospel of the water and the Spirit, that is, before we knew and believed that the Lord took charge of all our sins by receiving baptism, we were bound under the law. No matter how much we believed in Jesus and believed we were saved from the sins of the world, sin was still in our hearts, and we were still bound under the law, so there was no way to escape from sin even...

[Question] 1. What kind of gospel is it, indeed, that allows a person to receive the removal of sins in their heart, receive the Holy Spirit as a gift, and live a life of faith? In fact, this question is the very core inquiry that the entire chapter 3 of Galatians is throwing, and it is a question about the very truth that the Apostle Paul sought to restore by crying out “O foolish” to the Galatia...

Life that was Enslaved Under the Elementary Principles Until the Appointed Time “Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world” (Galatians 4:1-3). https://www.bjnewlife.or...

Today, the Apostle Paul speaks like this in Galatians chapter 4. “Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father” (Galatians 4:1-2). Here, the heir to the inheritance is exactly us. It is the born-again people. However, it is said that as long as he is a c...

Beloved saints, The word from Galatians chapter 4, verses 1 to 11, which we read together today, is the text where the Apostle Paul most firmly nailed down for the saints of the Galatian church what situation they were originally in, what status they have now been moved to, and with what faith they must live in the future. Within these short eleven verses, our old status and new status are all con...

[Question] 1. We know the fact that as people who believe in Jesus, when we preach the gospel to unbelievers, it is only when we accurately preach what kind of gospel the gospel of the water and the Spirit is from the very beginning that people can surely receive the removal of sins by faith. Please explain this part. This is because what and how we preach at the starting point of gospel propagati...

The Way for Those Called for Freedom Not to Bear the Yoke of Slavery Again “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have...

Hello, everyone. The word we will look at together today is the word from Galatians chapter 5, verses 1 to 6. It is the word that the Apostle Paul cried out to the Galatian saints with a heart that felt like bursting. The Apostle Paul went to the region of Galatia and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the people living there heard that gospel and received the blotting out of sins. However,...

Hello, everyone. It has already become this hot. A person’s mind is truly precise. It is much more precise than any machine in this world. However, there is something even more precise than our minds, and that is the word of God. It has no flaws, is the truth itself, and does not change. The word of God is the word of eternal life. Galatians 2:20 speaks like this: “I have been crucified with Chris...

Beloved saints, today we will read the words of Galatians chapter 5, verses 1 through 12 together. Earlier in chapter 4, the Apostle Paul testified that we are not slaves but sons, and not children of a bondwoman but children of a free woman. Entering chapter 5, Paul declares that freedom in one word and begins his exhortation. It is that Christ has given us freedom to make us free, so do not bear...

[Question] 1. Since Christ came to this earth to give us salvation, we have a responsibility to please His heart through faith believing in the work of salvation He accomplished. Please explain this part. I will explain how the work of salvation accomplished by Christ and our responsibility responding to that work are connected, under the light of Galatians 5. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://yo...

The Law of Christ Bearing Burdens with One Another and Examining Oneself “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each...
