So we've made our way through the first chapter of Galatians! Let's quickly look back on what we've discovered before we move on.
1) Paul opens his letter to the Galatian churches with a prayer of blessing asking grace and peace to rest on them. (He does this just before correcting them--which is a genius move.)
2) Paul chastises them for turning so quickly to distorted gospels and for not sticking to the true Gospel of Christ. (And he cusses out those who distort the Gospel--which is also a genius move.)
3) Paul establishes himself as one who only seeks the approval of God--not the approval of man. (He sets himself apart from his own past and shows the change that happened to him through his redemption--another genius move.)
Got it?
Good.
Moving on.
