Our Defense Of The Gospel Of God

 The Galatian Christians were being targeted by legalistic Jews who were not only spreading a fabricated gospel, a distorted doctrine, and a false Christ to Christians, but were deliberately seeking to discredit Paul and the unique ministry and mission to which he had been commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself.
 Paul's strong denunciation of this false teaching and his bitter attacks against those that were determined to bring the Body of Christ under the curse of the Law, demonstrated that he was never going to be intimidated by his accusers nor was he prepared to compromise the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ and neither should we!
 If Paul, in these early days of the Church, was so viciously attacked by these legalistic, Pharisaic teachers who deliberately tied up heavy legalistic burdens on men's shoulders in order to entrap them, manipulate them, enslave them, and place them back under the curse of the Law, how much more do we, in these closing days of Christianity, need to be equally vigilant in Our Defense Of The Gospel Of God. Christ died for our sins and rose again the third day so that by faith in His sacrificial work on the Cross and glorious Resurrection, we have been freed from the curse of the Law, which is death, and have been born anew where we walk in spirit and truth under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as we continue to read through the book of Galatians and realize the terrible consequences of going back under legalistic rules and regulations which seem to be practiced by so many in Christianity today, we thank You that we have been set free from the law of sin and death and pray that we may walk in newness of life to Your praise and glory, as we apply all that You would teach us through Your Word. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
