Galatians Chapter 1 Discussion Page 8

In this chapter are the very essentials that would solve so many problem. The chapter lays it out plain and simple. Paul says in effect that he works for God because he was called by God. He preaches the message given by God and will not under any circumstances compromise that fact or the pure message of the Gospel. What gospel was that? Salvation by grace through faith. Believe on (trust in) the Lord Jesus Christ and thou SHALT be saved. Baptism won't do it. Living right won't do it. Circumsicion won't do it. Things that are different are NOT the same. They had trusted Christ for salvation and along came some Jews trying to muddy up the waters making people believe that additions needed to be added and improvements could be made. You Galations heard the right message in the first place. If we come back and change the story don't believe us. If someone else changes it don't believe them. If an Angel from Heaven changes it... tell them all they can be accursed. (damned) If you are trusting in your good works to go to heaven then you have believed someone that is a liar. Church membership won't save you. Sacraments won't save you. Only the blood of Jesus can do it. Anything else is a lie from Hell and smells like smoke. Paul shares with them his past life how he used to be one of them and profited by being so. But when God called him he went. The same people that were trying to be so "helpful" to the Galations and "help" are the same people Paul had been beaten nearly to death by for preaching the Gospel. If the God that created you wants you to do something don't "confer with flesh and blood" don't care what your friend thinks, your family thinks, your job thinks, or even your church thinks. If you belong to an organization or a church that teaches any thing else than being saved by the Grace of God run so fast your shoes smoke. In any dispute, in any question, God's word is Supreme. This very Bible you are reading now gets the last Word.
