Show Notes:

§ Galatians 2:1-10 (read in NLT)

§ Similarly to how chapter 1 ended, with Paul defending the fact that the gospel message he was preaching to the Gentiles came from God and not from man, not even the apostles, chapter 2 is a continuation of those thoughts ( to the audience: read chapters 1 and 2 together for better context when studying)

§ The last time Paul was in Jerusalem was 14 years previous, when he went to stayed with Peter for 15 days and also met with James, Jesus's brother (who wrote the Book of James which we did a series on)

§ Paul came back to Jerusalem because God revealed that he should go (a revelation)

§ He went and met with the church leaders to make sure that the message he had spent the last 14+ years preaching was in agreement with the gospel message the other apostles where preaching

§ In verse 4, Paul brings up how false believers came in to take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, and force us to follow their Jewish regulations (or the Old law)

§ Paul mentions how Peter is the apostle to the Jews while he is the apostle to the Gentiles, and that Peter, James and John consider Paul and Barnabas to be co-workers, encouraging them to keep preaching to the Gentiles

§ Galatians 2:11-21 (read in NLT)

§ Paul confronts Peter

□ Paul publicly opposes Peter to his face (not behind his back) about the inconsistency and hypocrisy of Peter's actions towards the Gentiles.

® (We will get more into "holding ourselves and our brothers and sisters accountable later on in Galatians)

® Acts 15 is an account of another situation where Pharisees or legalists tried to say that the Gentile believers had to be circumcised and follow the law of Moses, and in Acts 15, Peter and James, saying the same thing that Paul says here in Galatians 2

◊ (read Galatians 2:16)

§ Verses 20 & 21

□ Read Colossians 1:26-27

□ Read Ephesians 2: 4-10
