Shofar Stellenbosch | Galatians And Philippiansنموونە

Yesterday we saw in Galatians 2:4–5 that there were certain professing Jewish Christians in Jerusalem who tried to compel Titus, a Christian Greek, to be circumcised. The apostle Paul refused to submit to this pressure. The reason verse 5 gives is, "that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you."

Read the scripture and then answer the following questions. 

Reflective questions:

• Read Acts 10, how did the Lord come to show Peter that He came to bring salvation to the Gentiles?

Also read Acts 11:2-18.

Now according to Galatians 2:14 Paul says that Peter and Barnabas and the others are not being "straightforward with the truth of the gospel." They were not walking right with the truth of the gospel.

• What would the straightforward truth of the gospel be?

Believe the great gospel of Christ and do not fear what men can do to you.
