God’s Grace Is Sufficient For All Our Spiritual,Physical And Even Financial Needs 07/08/2022
Galatians 1
- This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead.
- All the brothers and sisters here join me in sending this letter to the churches of Galatia.
- May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
- Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.
- All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
- I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News
- but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
- Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.
- I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.
- Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
- Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning.
- I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.
- You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it.
- EPISTLES ARE LETTERS WRITTEN TO THE CHURCHES BY THE APOSTLES IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE SAME ISSUES THAT THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST FACES TODAY
- ALL THE LETTERS START IN THE SAME WAY
- THEY ALL START WITH GREETINGS THAT.RELEASE GRACE AND PEACE TO THE BELIVERS IN CHRIST IN THOSE CHURCHES
- APOSTLE PAUL IN THIS LETTER TO THE GALATIANS GAVE A SERIOUS WARNING ABOUT THOSE WHO PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST AND CURSED THEM GAL 1:6-8
- FROM VERSE 10-14 HE WARNED AGAINST FOLLOWING MESSAGES RECEIVED FROM HUMAN BEINGS WHO CALL THEMSELVES PROPHETS AND SPECIAL INDIVIDUALS WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE DIED AND SEEN GOD
- FOR EXAMPLE JUST GET ON YOUTUBE AND SEE THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF PAUL AND LINDA RICCA AND MARGRET AMURE
- MARGRET AMURE SOLD MILLIONS OF CDS ABOUT HAVING DIED AND SEEN JESUS ,MARY ETC
- LINDA RICCA SAID SHE SAW JESUS WHO CONFIRMED THAT HE SENT MARGARET WITH THOSE MESSAGES
- MARGRET LATER MADE A CD TO OPENLY REPENT ND ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS FROM THE BODY OF CHRIST
- MANY ARE RUNNING OUT OF THAT MOVEMENT IN NIGERIA,BUT SOME NAMIBIANS ARE NOW CARRYING IT ON THEIR HEADS
- WORSHIPPING WHATEVER LINDA CLAIMS TO HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD
- DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF LINDA? ONE OF THE MEANING IS SNAKE
- THE LORD SAID EVEN THE ELECTS COULD BE DECEIVED AT THIS END TIME
MATHEW 24:22-26
- For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again.
- 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.
- 23 “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it.
- 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.
- 25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.
- 26 “So if someone tells you, ‘Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or, ‘Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it!
- PAUL HAD TO REBUKE THE HYPOCRISY OF TRYING SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN PETER IN
- GALATIANS 2:11-21 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.
- 12 When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision.
- 13 As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
- 14 When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?
- 15 “You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles.
- 16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”
- 17 But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not!
- 18 Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down.
- 19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God.
- 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
- PAUL ALSO CALLED THE GALATIANS FOOLISH
- GALATIANS 3:1-14
- Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.
- 2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.
- 3 How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?
- 4 Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?
- 5 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
- 6 In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”
- 7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
- 8 What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”
- 9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
- 10 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”
- 11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
- 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
- 13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
- 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.
- ANY DOCTRINE THAT EMPHASIZES GOOD WORKS OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS OR HOLINESS AS A MEANS TO HEAVEN WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO DECEPTION AND SERIOUS CONFUSION
- WE MUST REJECT AND TOTALLY REBUKE THESE ERRORS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
- ISAIAH 64:5-7
- 5 You welcome those who gladly do good, who follow godly ways. But you have been very angry with us, for we are not godly. We are constant sinners; how can people like us be saved?
- 6 We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.
- 7 Yet no one calls on your name or pleads with you for mercy. Therefore, you have turned away from us and turned us over to our sins.
- WE ARE ONLY SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST
- EPHESIANS 2:8-10
- God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
- 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
- 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
- WE NEED TO GROW UP INTO MATURITY IN CHRIST
- GO TO THE SECRET PLACES AND GET THE REVELATION OF CHRIST BY MEDITATING ON GOD’S WORD AND BY PRAYERS
- WE ARE TOO EASILY DECEIVED YOU NEED JESUS REVEALED TO YOU BY GOD
- GET HUNGRY FOR GOD.BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR WALK WITH HIM
- EPHESIANS 4:11-14
- Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.
- 12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.
- 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
- 14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.
- LET US ALL FULLY RECEIVE GOD’S GRACE AND LET OUR HEARTS BE ESTABLISHED BY GOD’S GRACE ALONE IN JESUS NAME
- HEBREWS 13:9;12-15
- Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them.
- 10 We have an altar from which the priests in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.
- 11 Under the old system, the high priest brought the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, and the bodies of the animals were burned outside the camp.
- 12 So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by means of his own blood.
- 13 So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore.
- 14 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.
- 15 Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.
