Galatians 1:11-2:14 Will the Real Gospel Please Stand Up? + PDF Discussion Guide
A counterfeit gospel had infected the churches of Galatia. Paul called it a different gospel (1:6), another gospel (1:7), a distorted gospel (1:7), and a contrary gospel (1:8); then finally in 1:11, man's gospel. The one they originally heard from Paul, and the other one they heard later from men claiming approval from the apostles in Jerusalem. A similar problem exists today. The Jehovah's Witnesses claim to have the true gospel. The Mormons offer a "restored" gospel. Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy placed a unique spin on the gospel related to historic tradition. How is one to decide? The overall topic of this letter is fairly straightforward: What is the true gospel, and what does it require of those who believe it? Today: Paul's purpose in today's passage (1:11-2:14) was to convince the Galatians that the gospel they heard from him came straight from Jesus. As you travel in a car, you can enjoy the sunset, or the pretty scenery you pass, or points of historical interest, but ultimately the purpose of travel is to reach a destination. So too, when read the Bible, there is much of interest to note and enjoy, but we mustn't forget the purpose is the figure out where the author is going. Let's not get lost in the details. This whole section (1:11-2:14) is not really about Paul. It is about why the gospel Paul preached was the true gospel.
