Galatians 3:10 // How does being "of the works of the law" place one under a curse?

If we desire to be a spiritual person then we must do spiritual things. First on the list is pray and believe. We must ask Yahweh to give us strength to know the Messiah's love.

Galatians 3:8-9 // Paul says that the gospel was preached to Abraham. How? Did Abraham know everything we know today about the gospel?

Galatians 3:6-7 // Paul uses an argument from Genesis 15 to bolster the authenticity of the salvation of the Gentiles. He in turn wants his readers to see that those who carry the characteristic of faith are the true sons of Abraham.

Galatians 3:6-9 Intro // In the midst of his arguing for the Galatians salvation - apart from becoming Judahites - Paul brings up the great Patriarch Abraham. Why?

Who were the rulers and authorities in the heavens that the mystery of the Gentiles was made known to? 

Galatians 3:4-5 // The Gentiles had been suffering persecution for believing in Yeshua. They had also had mighty miracles done among them through the hands of the Apostles. How was this accomplished? Did they get circumcised and then experience persecution? Or, did the persecution come apart from the works of the law?

Galatians 3:1-3 // Paul minces no words when he calls the Galatians foolish and hypnotized. Make no mistake about it, there are religious men in the world who you need to avoid. This lesson also talks about how a person receives the Spirit, and how that if you have received the Spirit, you need not doubt when a self-proclaimed "prophet" tells you otherwise.

Galatians 3:1-5, INTRO // Basic review of the big picture in Galatians, and a beginning into chapter 3, particularly the part where Paul chastises the Galatian Gentiles for thinking they need to go back and do something that was already done.

There are some things that were concealed in the Old Testament that were revealed in the New Testament, at the time of the Apostles and Prophets. The Old Testament saints caught a glimpse of such things, but only later did the picture become clear.

Some people will push you far away from Yahweh, while others will push you nearer to Yahweh. Choose your friends wisely.

If we are in Messiah, we are not guests or outcasts, we are citizens of heaven, right along with our brother Yeshua. This status is available to anyone who places their faith in the cornerstone that Yahweh laid.

Galatians 2:17-21 // Yahweh's law is perfect. Yahweh's law is good. There is nothing wrong with Yahweh's law - AT ALL - but... Yahweh's law was not designed by Yahweh to be an instrument of justification. Yahweh's law was not designed by Yahweh to remove sin. If we try to use the law in a way it is not designed to be used, we are making void the grace of Yahweh.

Galatians 2:15-16 // When all the dust settles, Judahite-Israelites by birth are just as much sinners as Gentiles. No man is declared justified (acquitted) by the works of the law, because no man is complete in Torah.

Galatians 2:11-14 // Paul gave Peter an open rebuke, but it wasn't because he disagreed with him on how to observe a commandment, it was because Peter was deviating from the truth of the gospel to the Gentiles.

Within a natural body, there are many different parts, yet diversity does not mean harmony. It should be the same within the spiritual body of Messiah. Yeshua is our common bond. He is our peace.

Galatians 2:6-10 // Paul respected the Jerusalem leadership, and that leadership gave Paul and Barnabus the right hand of fellowship. They agree with Paul's gospel; an uncircumcised heathen could be saved from his sins and be in a right relationship with Yahweh, simply by placing trust in Yeshua, the One Yahweh sent.

Galatians 2:3-5 // Titus the Greek wasn't forced to be circumcised. Why? Would Titus have done wrong by getting circumcised? Listen to learn the important first century context of what was taking place in and around Jerusalem, Israel when people received the message of the good news about Yeshua.

Galatians 2:1-2 // The second time Paul went to Jerusalem (as a believer in Messiah) he presented his Gospel to the established elders there. Why did he do this? How did he do this?

How do we view people, Christian people, who are not entirely as we are? Listen to this lesson to learn how that in the Messiah, we are one with those who are in the Messiah, even when they aren't as we are, or as we think they need to be.
