Lesson 2: This Message Came From God

Summary of Galatians chapter 1:
- God – not a group of men – has directed me to write this letter to you.
- This is the same God whose Son Jesus died for your sins and was raised from the dead.
- How could you drift away from the gospel of grace by which you were saved?
- Whoever has distorted the gospel we gave you is under a curse of God.
- I do what I do to please God and not to please men.
- I got this gospel from a direct revelation from Christ.
- Remember – I hated the church and was trying to destroy it when He visited me.
- Barnabas and I explained who Jesus is when we first visited. We told you that you are “freed and forgiven” when you believe on Jesus, not when you do certain things people want you to do.
- This message I gave you came from Jesus, was confirmed by the Holy Spirit and by leaders in the church and has born God-glorifying fruit wherever it is preached.
