Summary: The Gospel
Galatians 1 v 11 - 24 The Gospel
It's Source
It's Definite - 11 But I certify you, brethren,
It's Declared - that the gospel which was preached of me
It's Divine - is not after man.
It's Substance
Paul's Rejection - 12 For I neither received it of man,
Paul's Reception - neither was I taught it,
Paul's Revelation - but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
It's Success
His Past - 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past
His Persuasion - in the Jews' religion,
His Persecution - how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God,
His Passion - and wasted it:
It's Supremacy - Better than -
My Teaching - 14 And profited in the Jews' religion
My Training - above many my equals in mine own nation,
My Traditions - being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
It's Sovereignty
The Will of God - 15 But when it pleased God,
The Ways of God - who separated me from my mother's womb,
The Word of God - and called me by his grace,
The Work of God - 16 To reveal his Son in me,
It's Sanctity -
The Revealer - 15 But when it pleased God,
The Revealed - 16 To reveal his Son
The Revelation - To reveal his Son in me,
It's Service -
It's Personal - that I,
It's Practical - might preach
It's Powerful - might preach him,
It's Purposeful - among the heathen;
It's Pivotal - immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
It's Sufficiency -
No Search - 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem
No Sway - to them which were apostles before me;
No Sign - but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
It's Sincerity -
The Delay - 18 Then after three years
The Decision - I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,
The Deliberation - and abode with him fifteen days.
It's Security -
The Lack - 19 But other of the apostles
The Look - saw I none,
The Limit - save James the Lord's brother.
It's Superiority -
In Truth - 20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
In Travail - 21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
In Trust - 22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
In Trial -
The Word - 23 But they had heard only,
The War - That he which persecuted us in times past
The Work - now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
In Triumph - 24 And they glorified God in me.
