    Galatians 1

    The Uniqueness of the


    Gospel
    Who are some
    of the
    people you seek
    approval from
    for various
    things you do?
    Galatians 1

    What do we learn about the gospel message just


    from what Paul says in passing about it in 1:3-6?
    In light of 1:6 and 2:3-5, what can we guess the
    opposing teaching (“different gospel”) to be?
    Reflect and React:
    “Paul says: ‘A different gospel… in reality is no gospel
    at all’ (Gal 1:6-7).
    Martin Luther says:
    ‘There is no middle ground between Christian
    righteousness and works-righteousness. If we say, as the
    circumcision party did: “you need Christ plus something
    else,” then you have not just diminished the gospel but
    eliminated it. For to add anything to Christ is to make him
    only an Example or a Helper but to make yourself
    Savior.”
    ~What do you think, how do
    you react to this quote?
    Galatians 1
    What does Paul teach in vs 1:6-10 about how we should
    think about:
    -All truth-claims by teachers/philosophers.
    -Our own feelings and experiences.
    Why is he so uncompromising?
    How does he apply this standard even to himself?
    What kinds of false teachings
    about God and the gospel are
    floating around today in our
    culture and even in churches?
    What is Paul’s past like
    (v 11-24)?
    How does that affect his
    understanding of the gospel
    and his life?
    What about you? How
    does your past affect
    where you are on your
    spiritual journey now?
    When have you worked hard on
    something, only to have it turn out to
    be in vain?
    Why do you think Paul is concerned
    that his preaching to the Gentiles was
    “in vain” (v 2:2)?
    What do you think Paul is
    talking about in v 2:4 when
    he mentions freedom versus
    slavery?
    Next week:
    Read Galatians 2:11-21
    We’ll discuss hypocrisy in the church and the
    centrality of the gospel

    Observe -What is it saying- why, when, how?),


    Interpret -What does it mean? What is it saying
    about God? Context, history),
    Apply -What does this mean in my life?)
