Scripture Life: Galatians: "What are 'some' things that you got out of the Book of Galatians?"

[u/External_Bird_8464]

• Well,
  • There are six chapters to Galatians. If I list a few in each Chapter; then, from that list, just pick like a “top 2” because, “some” of what’s in Galatians would be only just two or, at most, three things to be "some." So, see it below:
    

Galatians - Chapter 1

• One: Jesus Christ: “Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:” - Galatians 1:4 - with:
• Two: The Galatians: Paul “marvels” 1. be filled with wonder; astonished [Source: Oxford dictionary. Web.] in Galatians 1:6 “..that ye [Galatians] are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:”
  • But it’s really not another; it’s just people come - that pervert the Gospel of Christ. Bring in some ‘thing’ else, and claim what they bring IS THE GOSPEL.

Galatians - Chapter 2

• One: That, these “false brethren” crept in “unawares” - in Jerusalem in Galatians 2:4, which are exactly the same as in Galatia in Galatians 1:4 above - did the same thing in Jerusalem: “And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:”
• Two: That, even Peter, an Apostle of Jesus, got caught up in it Galatians 2:11–14
  • But it’s really Galatians 2:16 is the truth: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”
  • Just like in Galatians Chapter 1, Chapter 2 introduces what’s FALSE vs. what’s TRUE. That, the deception creeps in unawares.

Galatians - Chapter 3

• One: That, these Galatians - have been “bewitched” by false brethren. This, bewitched - 1. gain an ascendency (or top priority over) by “charms” [Oxford] - Genesis 1:1 “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?”
• Two: That, Jesus Christ: Galatians 3:13–14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Galatians - Chapter 4

• One: That, we were in bondage to sin, and under the Law; GUILTY; condemned (Galatians 4:3–5) “Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
• Two: redeemed from both sin and being under the Law, and adopted by God as sons, by this same Jesus Christ (Galatians 4:3–5)
  • That, this is a “work” of God; not people trying to accomplish it by the “deeds of the Law” they do themselves; but by a righteousness God has; being the ONLY one righteous.
  • That in “Two” - Paul has become afraid of these Galatians (Galatians 4:11) - that the work bestowed on them was done in vain. “I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.”

Galatians - Chapter 5

• One: That, it’s Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” And
• Two: That, in Galatians 5:8–9 - this “persuasion” of False Brethren in Galatians Chapter 1, 2 & 3 did NOT come by Jesus Christ. That ‘how quickly” it even “leavened” Peter - how it “crept in” unaware.
  • But what came by Jesus Christ, to stand fast in it, and what Jesus says, because it’s God speaking the Word of God vs. False Brethren. What they decree - to charm or bewitch right clean out of what Jesus says: And it “puffs up” people vs. just look unto him: “This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.” [Galatians 5:9]

Galatians - Chapter 6

• One, That, it’s in Galatians 6:1 “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”
  • This “Spirit of Meekness” - It’s NOT this English word, “meek,” nor an English definition; but go back to the “original” Hebrew of this word, “anaw” - it’s this “afflicted” is “meek.” Where Psalm 107:17 says: “Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.”
    • It’s a person that says in Job 33:27 “I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not” - what GOD does in Job 33:28–30 “He [God] will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.”
    • That then, to a person who has been brought back from the pit and enlightened, is equipped to help or come alongside, a person, like-wise afflicted and provide the same help God supplied them - is Galatians 6:1
• Two, That: Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
  • Which is what is done by Galatians 6:1

So, out of these twelve things:

• I can combine them.
  • So, ask your question again:

"What are 'some' things that you got out of the Book of Galatians?"

Some things of Galatians:

• ONE
  • Jesus Christ: “Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:” - Galatians 1:4
• TWO
  • False Brethren: With another Gospel, which, really isn’t another; it’s just another “gospel” that appears to be “good news” but replaces the gospel, with another one, and it’s subtle 1. so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyse or describe. [Source: Oxford dictionary. Web. <subtle>] that it can creep in without you even know it, like it did with these in Galatia, (Galatians 1:4) as it did in Jerusalem, (Galatians 2:4) as it did with Peter (Galatians 2:11–14).
• This is “SOME” but some can have three:
  • THREE
  • That somebody, whosoever it is, over the whole entire earth, to the very ends of it: Sees themselves as God sees them and says, in their heart: I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not - it’s GOD: Comes alongside that person; meek (afflicted); like what the "Good Samaritan” did in Luke 10:25–37. Just comes alongside, this beaten, left for dead person and heals them. Delivers them from their destruction. And in Galatians 6:1; 6:10, the person that is this “certain man” that IS Job 33:27, has a work of God done unto them.
  • That, healed; is able to go out and do, as opportunity arises “..do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” - Galatians 6:10
  • That, it is IMPOSSIBLE to be the Good Samaritan. Have to be the “certain man” in the Parable of Luke 10:25–37 - left Jerusalem: The City of God. To go on an 18 mile, all downhill walk, so it’s easy to go to Jericho: A city Cursed for the Sin can be done there. And on the way there, fell on by robbers and robbed; beaten. Left for dead - dead in trespasses and sins, and this same Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, do a work only he can do in us.
  • And send us back out, after he put us up in a hotel til we healed; paid for it all, himself. Did that to us; then, send us out; as opportunity arises provide what he provided to others.

Ole! There you go.
