Writing To Correct False Teachings

Gal. 1:1-12     

In the early New Testament Church, certain false teachers attempted to persuade gentile converts that they could not be justified (have their sins forgiven) by simply repenting, believing the gospel, and accepting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. Instead, they were teaching that justification was possible only if they were physically circumcised and adhered to other temporary laws that were given at Mt. Sinai. The apostles rejected this argument categorically. Paul forcefully argued against it in his letter to the Galatians. His point was, they did not need to be adopted as Jews to become ‘sons of God’ (Gal. 3:26) and receive eternal life.

Point of Emphasis:     Don’t give room to false teachers and their teachings.

Prayer Point:              Lord, give me discerning spirit to differentiate between the truth and falsehood.
