Itty Bitty Book 2 – Galatians, Chapter 1, June 7, 2009
I’m on vacation, so I’m not putting in a Galatians intro – but you can go to www.Blueletterbible.org and read one yourself.
Chapter 1:1 I love how Paul starts this letter:
Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead),
I look at what the apostles did with their lives….and I think – they were hand picked, chosen by God for that job….I’ll never be able to be like them.
BUT – each of us is handpicked by God before the foundation of the world…..
This was to Jeremiah:
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
and lest we rule that out because God gave that call to Jeremiah –
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
and if there is any question that God handpicked each of us for HIS work, Romans 8:28-31 blows them all away!
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
Galatians 1:6-9 – WARNING WARNING WARNING!!! There are going to be those that will preach ANOTHER gospel – and he’s not just talking about the non Christian folks. THERE ARE ERRORS IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAT ARE BEING PREACHED TODAY that will keep the believers from their true calling – their preparation for the battle to come – their moving out into the battle.
WARNING – the 501c3 designation of a church has already prevented pastors from speaking things clearly to the church. They cannot preach against political topics – against sins – and anything that could be considered hate speech. Legislation is being proposed to really shut the mouths of the church – the fact that a nation that has embraced aborting babies, exalting sinful lifestyles and vanity and excess is now trying to make it legal to to point at a Christian(not other religions) and say “You are hateful – you go to jail”.
I don’t know how many of you read about the pastor that was having Bible study in his home and was told they had to stop. Don’t know the details….but that would destroy many moves of the church.
So – WARNING WARNING WARNING – watch the signs of the times!!!!
vs 3-5 – the basic gospel:
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christi. Who gave Himself for our sins, that He3 might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, To whom be all glory forever and ever, amen!
Christ delivered us so that we would be able to stand against the attacks of the enemy – and that we would be able to endure to the end, to receive that crown of life he has waiting for us!
May you be filled with the true gospel through Jesus Christ today – and turn from the tempting, teasing, tickling teachings that would draw you away from the TRUTH.
In His hands and under His wings,
~Christi
