Podcasts about galatians 1:1-10

I'm going to make this simple, and show you what I see in the introduction to this letterFirst, there's something different about the way it begins- in Paul's usual typical greetings he identifies himself, his title, and whoever else is with him• then, he greets and blesses his readers with, “grace and peace”• but in this letter, before he mentions his companions, he takes a detour◦ he turns this simple greeting into a strong assertion- humans had nothing to do with Paul becoming an apostleit was “not from man nor through man”- this cuts to the heart of what Paul wants to say in this letter• he'll spend most of the first two chapters with autobiography◦ how he was inspired and the revelations that came to him• but that is because Paul is very upset, as will become obvious◦ if you've ever been “lectured” by a parent, a police officer, or a teacher,◦ you will recognize how Paul is dealing with the Galatians

Galatians 1:1-10

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.
