Who Should We Witness To? August 3, 2013 – Galatians 1 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading in Galatians 1. Galatians an Overview; ”The churches in Galatia were formed partly of converted Jews, and partly of Gentile converts, as was generally the case. St. Paul asserts his apostolic character and the doctrines he taught, that he might confirm the Galatian churches in the faith of Christ, especially with respect to the important point of justification by faith alone. Thus the subject is mainly the same as that which is discussed in the epistle to the Romans, that is, justification by faith alone. In this epistle, however, attention is particularly directed to the point, that men are justified by faith without the works of the law of Moses. Of the importance of the doctrines prominently set forth in this epistle, Luther thus speaks: "We have to fear as the greatest and nearest danger, lest Satan take from us this doctrine of faith, and bring into the church again the doctrine of works and of men's traditions. Wherefore it is very necessary that this doctrine be kept in continual practice and public exercise, both of reading and hearing. If this doctrine be lost, then is also the doctrine of truth, life and salvation, lost and gone."” - Matthew Henry Commentary Concise The apostle Paul greets the saints at Galatia emphasizing his apostleship. He warns the Galatians about turning from the gospel of Christ by listening to false teachers. Paul tells the the saints in Galatia that he could not be a servant of Christ if he was seeking mans approval. He tells them about his ministry and what he had seen as he served Jesus. “18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.” Galatians 1:18-23 English Standard Version (ESV). Where has your walk with Jesus taken you? Are you sure of your faith? With whom do you share Jesus? “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV. Jesus makes it very clear concerning who we should share His love with (see John 3-16). Can you still hear Jesus calling; “sinner com home!” He won’t call forever, now is the time to answer his call.

The Feast Saturday, August 3, 2013, Galatians 1 – “The apostle Paul asserts his apostolic character against such as lessened it. (1-5) He reproves the Galatians for revolting from the gospel of Christ under the influence of evil teachers. (6-9) He proves the Divine authority of his doctrine and mission; and declares what he was before his conversion and calling. (10-14) And how he proceeded after it. (15-24)” – Matthew Henry Concise Pastor Glen’s complete Devotional Series |Click Here| See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here| The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R. L.
