Galatians Week 1

Sharable notes for the September 22, 2024 message. You can post these notes on your social platform! 

Scriptures used: Galatians 1:1-9; 2:1-10; Acts 15:13-19
Scriptures referenced: Philippians 3:1-11

• Disagreements happen all the time, and they happen in the church, but we have no room to disagree on the gospel.

• It is only by the grace of God that comes through Jesus Christ that we can be at peace with the Father, with each other and within our soul.

• It’s one thing to know the truth, but unless we make a firm decision to stand on the truth of Scripture, we make ourselves vulnerable to false teaching.

• There should be an outward show of inner change in our life.

• Jesus worked for you, He works in you and He works through you.

• The "gospel truth" is that we don't change the Gospel, but the Gospel changes us!

• We have to be careful to never let our culture become gospel. Gospel never bends to the culture, the culture always bends to the gospel.

• Our contribution to our salvation is that we did all the sinning that we need saving from. That’s it.

• We do not become more godly because of legalism, but because of our faith in Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit at work in us.

• Our salvation is not sealed by anything we do, it’s sealed by His Holy Spirit.

Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:

• What has been your understanding of the book of Galatians? How would you describe the letter to someone else?

• If you were asked by someone to explain the gospel of Christ, how would you explain it? How does Paul's simple description of grace and peace help you?

• What kind of things have you seen added by Christians and churches to make others feel like those things must be done in order for you to be saved?
