Galatians 2

Commentary

Galatians 2 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and the freedom that comes from it. Paul is writing to the Galatians to remind them of the truth of the gospel and to warn them against the false teachings of the Judaizers. He begins by recounting his journey to Jerusalem to meet with the apostles and to discuss the gospel with them. He emphasizes that he was not seeking their approval, but rather was seeking to ensure that the gospel he was preaching was in line with the gospel that the apostles were preaching. Paul then goes on to explain that the gospel he was preaching was not based on works of the law, but rather on faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that justification comes through faith in Jesus Christ and not through works of the law. He also explains that the law was given to show us our sin and to lead us to Christ, not to be a means of salvation. Paul then goes on to explain that he and the other apostles were in agreement on the gospel and that they were united in their mission to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. He also explains that the Judaizers were wrong in their teachings and that they were trying to add works of the law to the gospel. Finally, Paul emphasizes the importance of living in the freedom that comes from faith in Jesus Christ. He explains that we are no longer bound by the law, but rather are free to live in the grace of God. He also warns against trying to be justified by works of the law, as this will only lead to bondage. Galatians 2 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and the freedom that comes from it.
