8-7-11 Christ In Me Galatians 2:11-21

Christ Lives In Me

Galatians 2:11-21

There is a Need to be Focused on Christ.
Proverbs 15:14 (NIV) The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

Paul is Sure of his Emphasis on preaching Jesus. Galatians 2:11-21

The Aspects to Paul’s Confronting a “Super Apostle”:

Peter’s Deviation (vs. 11-13)
1. The Clash (v. 11)
2. The Cause (v. 12)
3. The Consequence (v. 13)

Paul’s Doctrine (vs. 14-21)
1. His Reaction (vv. 14-15a)
2. His Statement (vv 15-16)
3. His Defense (vv. 17-21)

The Believer’s Response.
* Have I been saved by the grace of God?
* Am I trying to mix Law and Grace?
* Am I rejoicing in the fact I am justified by faith in Christ?
* Am I walking in the liberty of grace?
* Am I willing to tell the truth of the Gospel?
* Am I living daily according to the truth of the Gospel?

“Faith is only as good as its object. The person in the jungle bows before an idol of stone and trusts it to help him, but he receives no help. If faith is not directed at the right object, it will accomplish nothing. The big question is, ‘in whom do you believe?’”

7-24-11 Greater Faith Than Fanaticism -2- Galatians 1:11-24

Greater Faith Than Fanaticism
Galatians 1:11-24

Paul's Spiritual Journey

• He was set apart before he was born. v. 15a
• He was a religious fanatical law enforcer - "sheriff." v. 13
• He began as a true believer. v. 14
• He was converted by grace and Christ. v. 15b-16a
• He found purpose in preaching Jesus Christ. v. 16b
• He sought God first before he seeking others perspective. v. 17-22
• He preached faith in Christ that resulted in glorifying God. v. 23-24

A Practical & Spiritual Response for us today

• Prospects are everywhere to teach God's will.
• Power to change is in God and from God.
• Put your faith in God by knowing Him and His will for your life.
• Purpose of conversion is to share that relational faith in God.

Reflect On This Thought:
“Defined in psychological terms, a fanatic is a man who consciously over-compensates a secret doubt. Live by faith in Jesus Christ.”

Christ’s Gospel

Galatians 1:1-10

The Magnitude of The ...

Man = Paul, like any preacher should, knows where the authority is.

Message = The “Good News” is really only “truly good” if it is God’s original undenominational message.

Motive = Pleasing God should and no yourself.

“It seems that some people have gotten you all mixed up. They are trying to twist the good news about Christ.”
