And so then I had to go out to them and say, "Hey, you haven't convinced me of the truth of what you're declaring. The power of Christ must rest upon him. That they should not strive with one another, but love one another. Instead they are unkind and cruel to each other. But there was no sense of union then. For he, though a Jew, had completely done with the law, and all that pertains to it. It's Jesus only. "Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and," in order to make it still more evident, "by God the Father, who raised him from the dead." Why did He do that? Help us to express our faith in love every day by loving our neighbor as ourselves. The context behind the Galatians church We have been crucified to the requirements of the law Kill our desire or need to keep the law as a means of gaining justification Galatians 2:15-16 Being crucified to self Matthew 16:24 There is only one throne in our hearts and life, and only one person can sit on it Galatians 5:24 The Lord did stamp the testimony of Peter as being truly the revelation of His Father. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. is this all? If Peter was acting rightly now, this had all been a mistake, and consequently the gospel nay, solemn to say, Christ Himself would be thus a minister of sin. Plutarch says that it has a far wider place than justice. And the old flesh likes to get people excited and stirred up like that. And facts tell on their mind. But it degenerated; came to mean the desire to have what someone else has, wrong desire for what is not for us. "Paul closes this little section on the idea of circumcision and all and he gets a little testy with those. . They're wanting to strive, they're wanting to argue; they're wanting to prove their points how that baptism is essential for salvation. He tells us that fourteen years after he again went up to Jerusalem. In the latter part of this chapter the apostle comes to exhort these Christians to serious practical godliness, as the best antidote against the snares of the false teachers. For ye are all the children of God." Why this: "Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, and the other by a freewoman." Accordingly he draws from this a most weighty argument against bringing in the law as the rule of life for the believer. Can I be righteous by keeping the law? Exhortation to Stedfastness; Persuasives to Stedfastness. He who bites has exhausted his angry passion, but he who devours has given a demonstration of extreme cruelty. Chrysostom. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. Eternal life is beyond doubt the gift of divine grace; but, besides, the eternal life that I have now by pure and simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is what I find at the end of my course as well as at the starting. (b) It means being teachable, being not too proud to learn ( James 1:21). Yet how true it is, the more we look below the surface; indeed, in our day it becomes more and more palpable to the eye. We celebrated that today in the observance of the Lord's Supper. The forgiveness of your sins and your redemption is totally predicated upon the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross.These people were adding to it. And thus the blessing of Abraham could flow freely towards the Gentiles who never were there. Of course the same persons who are here in present view belonged to the church of God; but then they are not contemplated in their heavenly relationship, but as the children of promise, as we shall see in the end of this very chapter. "But there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." Just as he had shown that God in His love to man had given the promise direct, so the apostle Paul acts in his care for the saints of God where all the foundations were endangered. All of the law is fulfilled. And let's go on. In its own proper sphere and blessings Christianity knows nothing of the sort, but denies it in principle. The kind that were always talking about numbers. It is interesting to note the earnestness and strength with which the apostle speaks, now the question had been fairly raised. We don't understand that word too much. So it was, then, that the apostle presents his own wonderful relation to Christ. The very defence set up, and the meanings which these men put on the forms and ceremonies of which they make Christianity so largely to consist, demonstrate their most barefaced turning back to idolatry. The other part remains, and must be accomplished in its own day, when Israel's heart turns to the Lord. What had been revealed? At first he prayed the Lord to take it from him; but no! Now, Paul taught righteousness through faith. He went up with Barnabas, taking Titus with him. That there is in every one a struggle between the flesh and the spirit (Galatians 5:17; Galatians 5:17): The flesh (the corrupt and carnal part of us) lusts (strives and struggles with strength and vigour) against the spirit: it opposes all the motions of the Spirit, and resists every thing that is spiritual. He begins with the works of the flesh, which, as they are many, so they are manifest. When God gives a pledge not of possessing the gate of enemies, when He speaks of the blessing of the nations, instead of the overthrow of Israel's foes, then he speaks simply of "thy seed." The noun GALATIANS has 1 sense: 1. a New Testament book containing the epistle from Saint Paul to the Galatians Familiarity information: GALATIANS used as a noun is very rare. "You've been called unto liberty." His theology always ran one danger. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us [all?]. If you want to be a subject in God's kingdom, then you cannot do these things. He had been brought to a place of blessing outside himself and by another, the Saviour, which in itself gives the soul motives indeed but not power; whereas, for the soul who is brought to God by the gospel, and planted in the liberty wherein Christ makes free before God, it is no more a question of flesh, but of the Holy Ghost who is given to him. In other words, you did not get this from God. 2. The Christian by the cross of Christ has terminated his connection with flesh, with the world, with the law. He took care also that the twelfth apostleship should be filled up; for it is a profound mistake to suppose that Peter and the other apostles had been hasty in numbering Matthias with them, and that Paul was really the twelfth apostle according to the mind of the Lord. He sees the right, feels the good, desires the holy, but never, accomplishes. Fornication; it has been said, and said truly, that the one completely new virtue Christianity brought into the world was chastity. It was a very unusual circumstance. How little is man to be accounted of! Yea, hence it appears that they are not under the law, but under grace; for these fruits of the Spirit, in whomsoever they are found, plainly show that such are led by the Spirit, and consequently that they are not under the law, as Galatians 5:18; Galatians 5:18. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?" The very reverse of their system is true. Thence he advances to another point of his argument. He habitually measured things not so much by their bearing on Jews or Gentiles as by their effect on Christ's glory. There was no question of revealing His Son in them then. What does Galatians 5:15 Mean? Meanwhile another and a better sort of blessing is given, as a better Seed also is given the true Heir of all the promises of God, even Christ the Lord. Thus it appears that the Galatians as well as the Corinthians had been similarly affected. That is, he links on the heavenly character of Jerusalem for us before touching on the desolate place of Jerusalem after the flesh, or of the predicted change of heart and blessing in grace, when she will be glad to appropriate, as it were, the Christians born now after the Spirit. Do your souls go along with Paul's decision? This he means here by "faith." Walk on the spiritual side of your nature. And he gives to us here a listing, incomplete to be sure, because he ends it by saying, "And do such things." He next announces the true secret of it all: "I am crucified with Christ." (vss. It might seem entirely despising his brethren. Hagar herself was a slave and all her children were born into slavery; and that covenant whose basis is the law turns men into slaves of the law. The truth of God to our hearts.So, you has he made alive who were dead because of your trespasses and sins. It was to demonstrate his sinfulness, not to gain the inheritance. Democracy means government of the people, by the people, for the people. He takes the story involving Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac ( Genesis 16:1-16; Genesis 17:1-27, Genesis 21:1-34), which in the Old Testament is a straightforward narrative and he allegorises it to illustrate his point. If I am walking in the Spirit, if I am walking in love, then there can be no law to regulate my life. He is afresh making efforts to improve, yet still in bondage and misery. He will not hear of any pretended misunderstanding. As God has wrought for us on the cross, and delivered us from every atom of sin in Christ, so He will not allow us to mix one earthly or legal element with the revelation of His grace, which He has made ours in redemption, and proclaimed to us by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. Even though it might be a minor departure from the truth, be careful. For what the law is actually saying to you is that you should love God supremely and love your neighbor as yourself. You never come to believe in what the Mormons believe through reading the Bible. These were his lineal posterity. ( 2 Corinthians 6:14 ) How can I really fellowship with God if I'm unrighteous? Leave room for God, and for God alone. It is a grim illustration at which a polite society raises its eyebrows, but it would be intensely real to the Galatians who knew all about the priests of Cybele. In lxx metaphorically, Micah 3:5; Habakkuk 2:7. The Fruit of the Holy Spirit (sometimes, incorrectly, referred to as the Fruits of the Holy Spirit) is a biblical term that sums up nine attributes of a person or community living in accord with the Holy Spirit, according to chapter 5 of the Epistle to the Galatians: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, . Under law all is lost; under grace all is saved. My business is to act consistently with the new place in which grace has put me. Such is the effect of Christianity, and such in perfection was Christ Himself. This epistle, as those to the Corinthians, opens with an assertion of his apostolic place. No doubt he heard Peter use it there in Acts 15 , and he said, "Stand fast in the liberty wherein Christ has set you free.". And this directly follows his censure of their observance of times and seasons. That is why I encourage you just to read the Bible. Either Luke, as a doctor, did not use or have access to pharmaceuticals, which would then require that Galatians 5 says nothing of medicine, or Dr. Luke administered pharmakeia, which, the argument goes, is medicine sorcery. When the prophet speaks of any one living, it is by faith "The just shall live by faith." "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." And sometimes they'll lie to me. . It is all devoted to the deliverance of the saint from this present evil age by the cross of Christ, and his consistent maintenance of the new nature and position of grace of the new creation in Christ Jesus. There was no believer, Jew or Gentile, who had not gladly submitted to that very blessed sign of having part with Christ, and of that which is made good by Christ. . "Devour" describes hurtful actions that linger on and on as far as time is concerned. The apostle was given to preach the truth more fully than any other. I am crucified with Christ: consequently all that remains for me is living this new life which Christ is in me. How apt the illustration for exposing the judaizers! Lastly, he desires for his brethren, that "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ" might be with their spirit. On the other hand Sarah stands for the new covenant in Jesus Christ, God's new way of dealing with men not by law but by grace. But responsibility is always according to the relation in which one stands, and the measure of knowledge which each possesses, or ought to possess. That's where God touches me. The most difficult thing in Christendom is for people to know what it is to be Christians, and to take this place by the faith of Christ themselves. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." But meanwhile, under the gospel, there is an express promise of the blessing of the Gentiles when God spoke of the one seed, which is Christ. Those in Christ must stand firm against anyone who would try to drag them into slavery under the law (Galatians 5:1). They had so completely lost sight of the grace of Christ, the sweetness and the bloom of it, that he travailed again for them: his soul once more passed through that which had exercised him when they were converted. This was the serious move of the enemy. (14) An exhortation to the duties of charity, by the profit that follows from it, because no men proved worse for themselves than they that hate one another. Thus the two totally opposite roads of grace and law would have been leading to the same result. He says to those who would be under the law, why do you not listen to the law? There you have in a figure the two parties that are still found on the earth: the law party symbolized by Ishmael, the child of flesh; and those that cling to the grace of God, who have their pattern in Isaac, the child of promise. Hagar had a son called Ishmael. "The scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. "If you keep the whole law yet offended in one point, you're guilty of all. And in the fifteenth chapter of Acts, we read how that Peter stood up and told the brethren how that the Lord had called him to go to the Gentiles to the house of Cornelius. Nor this only. His Spirit bears witness with my spirit that I am a child of God. It is the obligation to God. We can understand a foolish man making a covenant, and the next day repenting of it, which is never true of the divine purposes. His is an apostleship to itself, as real as that of the twelve, but of another order, not at the same time, nor in the same manner. This is exceedingly important, and the more as I believe the scope of the allusion to Abraham and to his seed is not often appreciated. And I can choose whether or not to walk in the flesh, or then again, to commit it and walk after the Spirit. We saw the second of Corinthians characterized by the most rapid transitions of feeling, by a deep and fervent sense of God's consolations, by a revulsion so much the more powerful in a heart that entered into things as few hearts have ever done since the world began. All right, you know. In Paul's case the Holy Ghost could go a step farther, and that step He seems to me to take. It was exactly what Christ was on earth; and the expression of Christ is the prime call of the Christian. When he declared that the end of the reign of law had come and that the reign of grace had arrived, it was always possible for someone to say, "That, then, means that I can do what I like; all the restraints are lifted and I can follow my inclinations wherever they lead me. For the desires of the lower side of human nature are the very reverse of the desires of the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are the very reverse of those of the lower side of human nature, for these are fundamentally opposed to each other, so that you cannot do whatever you like. What a subversion, not only of the truth of God revealed in the gospel, but also of redemption, which is its basis! What! These things are not allowed in the kingdom of God. We are crucified unto it by grace, as the world is crucified unto us by judgment. Law is gone and grace ensures forgiveness anyway." And you keep dealing with me until I'll finally say, "Oh, God, I'm sorry. Then, bringing in the name of Jerusalem, the Spirit leads him to apply the prophecy of Isaiah, which shows that millennial Israel (in their turn abandoning self-righteousness, and made free by God's grace in Christ) will look back and count as their own those now brought in as Christians, and find far more children begotten by the gospel, in the time of their own desolation, than even when they flourished of old, and had ,all that earthly power and glory could give. "You don't know how long I've been taking it, Lord. Thus, as he says most emphatically, "I do not frustrate the grace of God;" they did, every one who substituted aught but Christ and His cross. ", At once the apostle launches into the troubled sea. I. Thus, it is seen, the truth was established. And who will venture to say that the indwelling Spirit of God fails to supply power to him who submits to the righteousness of God in Christ? Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage ( Galatians 5:1 ). (c) Storge (compare G794) rather means affection and is specially used of the love of parents and children. But this will be Jerusalem, under not law but promise and liberty, restored by grace after having lost everything by the law, and reduced to utter desolation. Second, it means that we are free to follow the Spirit and produce good works that last forever because we have faith in God and obey God's word (Galatians 5:16-26). Christendom is built upon this footing. These other words are defining what the agape love actually is. "As we have said before, so I say now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received." The case is hit off exactly to the life. "Bite" refers to the sudden action brought on by uncontrolled emotions that hurt other members of the church. I get an attitude that is not of the Lord. Partisan strife will be fatal to the Christian community as a whole. During the Medieval period it was depicted as "Joachim and Anne Meeting at the Golden Gate", meaning Mary's conception through the chaste kiss of her parents at the Golden Gate in Jerusalem; [64] the 14th and 15th centuries were the heyday for this scene, after which it was gradually replaced by more allegorical depictions featuring an adult Mary. Christianity brings everything to a climax; it also settles all questions. But God took care that the call of Paul should be delayed till the whole order of the Jewish apostleship should be complete. So, they went right up to settle the issue, and the church had one of the first church councils gathered to settle a dispute, a problem within the church. In the epistle to the Ephesians we shall find that the apostle claims a still higher character for all ministry. And mark how the Holy Ghost turns Abraham into an additional and most unexpected proof of the grace of God and the truth of the gospel. But it works through love. for want of love the Lord threatens to remove, and sometimes does "Wherefore, thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.". In my attitude towards life. The Galatian Christians should have been the most peaceful people in the province. Galatia was near Phrygia and the great worship of that part of the world was of Cybele. He had made as much proficiency as any of his day it may be, more. THE INTRODUCTION ( Galatians 1:1-10) 1. If I preach circumcision, then why would they keep persecuting me? The brethren with him ( Galatians 1:2a ) b. Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do." Christ is forgotten. Ye did run well." And so, they started telling people, "Well, Chuck believes this." Hairesis was not originally a bad word at all. The apostle himself meets that difficulty in the face, and in effect concedes to his detractors that he was not made an apostle by Christ here below. 19 the acts of the the acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and sinful nature debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits too often might be ready to turn aside. It is an actual result of the cross of Christ. He went simply to make the acquaintance of Peter, and abode with him how long? The apostle now demonstrates, from the result, how destructive such proceedings in the church must ultimately prove to be. It is evident that the thorn in the flesh was something which left him open to a slight, and made it difficult indeed for any one to understand how a man who was called to be an apostle should find it hard to convey plainly his mind in preaching. 3. So here Paul is "an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, that raised him from the dead.". The promise is therefore entirely distinct from the law, which was not heard of for four hundred and thirty years after. And people to follow after me, you know. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump ( Galatians 5:9 ). The writer ( Galatians 1:1-2a ) i. Paul, the Apostle ( Galatians 1: 1 ) ii. But when one is miserable, does not every duty, even where it may be as light as a feather, feel as if it were an iron chain on you? Christ lived, died, and was resurrected so that we might be free. Drunkenness; in the ancient world this was not a common vice. And this comes up every day in many situations, and I have actually the choice in this situation. That is, liberty in Jesus Christ. Can it be doubted that the special form of spiritual thought and feeling formed, for instance, by James's or Peter's teaching, yea, even by that of John, while harmonizing, where the heart was open, with the instruction of Paul, nevertheless would appear at first very different? The superior Trinity is made up of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. By the Spirit of God, we're waiting for that hope of righteousness through faith. The readers ( Galatians 1:2b ) c. The greeting ( Galatians 1:3-5 ) i. Paul says, "If you go on in this way, of which circumcision is the beginning, you might as well end up by castrating yourselves like these heathen priests." Paul did not stand alone. He does not charge them with anything of an openly gross or immoral nature; but what a proof that the truth of God, that the grace of Christ, is exclusive of everything but itself! Proud member So "stand fast in that liberty wherein Christ has made you free." The law, accordingly, never was the truth, either on God's side, or man's. So we, brothers, are children not of the slave girl but of the free woman. But when we look toward Jesus we can find freedom. The readers ( Galatians 1:2b ) c. The greeting ( Galatians 1:3-5 ) i. beware lest you be consumed -- Destroyed. Once, the Galatians had known that, but now they were turning back to the law. Interesting to me that heresies is here mentioned as a part of the works of the flesh. Soon all will believe in Christ, and all Israel be saved. As you know, he had been under law as a Jew. Certainly not God, nor His plain and precious word. It is past dispute that the things he here speaks of are the works of the flesh, or the product of corrupt and depraved nature; most of them are condemned by the light of nature itself, and all of them by the light of scripture.
