Walking in Grace with Matthew and Whitney
Religion & Spirituality
Let's delve into the message embedded in Galatians 1, verse 11, which holds significant importance in understanding Paul's unique approach to preaching the gospel. The verse reads, "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."
The engaging discussion highlights that this isn't just a verse, but rather Paul's personal confession that the gospel he preached wasn't taught or imparted to him by any man. His knowledge instead stemmed from a divine revelation, directly from Jesus Christ himself. Paul's in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Jewish Law as a top-ranking Pharisee adds an additional layer of depth to his interpretations and teachings.
This distinction in Paul's source of gospel is highly consequential because it presents a fresh perspective on the origin and authenticity of the gospel we know today. This essential aspect of Christian theology will be further explored on the forthcoming Sunday morning episode. Don't miss out on this enlightening exploration of Paul's influence in shaping the modern gospel.
