Galatians 6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Let me catch you up to speed on what Paul is thinking here in Galatians speaking to the Religious leaders…
What you do or don’t do, what your theological beliefs are or are not, I don’t care if you are the head apostle of the bishop baptist holy roller church of God, if you are the senior pastor, the prayer leader, the apostle, the head of the world wide starve my feeding children… I don’t care. What matters is are you making new creations.
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
The ROOT WORD USED HERE IS KOPTO… Meaning an intense striking, beat the breast…
PAUL REALLY REALLY REALLY MEANS THIS
Marks/Branded GK = my body and MY reputation has taken a hit for the sake of the gospel.
Paul draws a line here in the sand that is quite remarkable.
From now on I will allow No more trouble/ GK no more fatigue or whining arguments no more you should do this you should do that….
IM TAKING NO MORE SHHHENNANIGANS FROM YOU.
YOU ONLY GET MY ATTENTION IF YOU ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF NEW CREATIONS (VS. 15- ALL THAT COUNTS IS THE BUSINESS OF NEW CREATIONS)
We are not in the business of making bad people good (that just turns into law keeping) we are into the business of making dead people alive in Christ.
Paul says When you come talk to me, come brag to me about what Jesus is doing through you and how amazing he is.
