加拉太书 1:11-2:21 你从那里得到？
One day, a sister asked me, Do you know why I am a member of the Qingxin Association? I replied, That's because you grew up in that environment. Many people, or most people, We learn from people around us, Accept different flavors of food, Style of clothing, decoration, Even life habits, hobbies, etc.
Not only that, Children are more easily influenced. If you have children at home or at school, You know when they come home, Can't wait to report to you on the table. The new words he learned from his classmates at school, For example, YOLO, You Only Live Once, And new food and things, Such as TV shows, Electronic game consoles, etc.
You may be surprised. Where do they learn these things? Young people, Not to mention, If you have young people around you, Or young people in middle school, You may find a bag of white powder in their school uniforms, Or rock, paper, scissors.
You will be reminded to boldly ask, Where do they learn these things? Good morning, brothers and sisters. Welcome to the 16th of October, 2016, The main topic of the day is, Where did you learn the theme of the day?
The theme of the day is recorded in the first chapter of the Galatian Bible, From chapter 11 to chapter 21. Today, Paul must face the question sent to him by the Jews, Where did you learn the theme of the day?
Your rabbi is a teacher, Who is he? From this chapter, We can see Paul's response to the question sent to him. It can be divided into 4 main points. First, the origin. Second, the proof. Third, the meaning.
Fourth, the significance. The first chapter of the Galatian Bible is recorded in chapter 11, From chapter 11 to chapter 24. Which rabbi or teacher did Paul wear the uniform from? In chapter 11, Paul said, Brothers and sisters, let me tell you, The uniform I am wearing is not from a rabbi.
If you were a Jew or a rabbi, You may not wear the uniform, Because the mission of the Catholic Church was to follow the teachings of the rabbi, And to follow the Law of Moses, And to follow the teachings of the disciples from Jesus himself.
Therefore, they were surprised by Paul's response. Paul said more clearly in chapter 12, He did not wear the uniform from a rabbi. The uniform he wore was not from a rabbi. It was from Jesus himself. Next, Paul pointed out, Jesus gave him a warning, And gave him his own salvation.
Before and after, the two were betrayed. Paul said in chapter 13 to 14, I am in the Jewish faith, And I am better than many other Jews of the same generation, And I am stronger in upholding the tradition of my ancestors.
He was a big brother, And a Christian from the Jewish faith. In order to uphold the Jewish faith he believed in, He was cruelly persecuted by the Christians. He entered a person's home, And held a woman and a man in his arms.
This is in chapter 8, verse 3. He tried his best to destroy the so-called Christian faith. In chapter 15, verse 16, Paul described his salvation, And God called him. When was Paul's salvation? In chapter 5, Paul said, When I was still in my mother's womb, God separated me, And my salvation was...
Sorry, And my salvation was God, who knew nothing, and could do nothing. Before we were born, He separated us. As his children. But today, many Christians still don't know who their children are. They think that their salvation is based on their own decisions.
Paul said that his salvation was God, Because of whom he was born. He did not do anything, Nor was he able to make money. Nor was he able to receive God's salvation. This shows that salvation comes from God, And not from man.
Although Jesus did not have the opportunity to be his disciple, To be with him, But when God bestowed his grace on Paul, He separated Paul, And called him, God willing, In chapter 16, To give his son, Jesus Christ, To Paul.
We should remember that When Paul was on his way to Damascus, He met the Lord. God gave Jesus Christ to Paul, And told him to believe, To repent, To repent, And from that moment on, He followed Jesus Christ all his life.
This is what God wanted to do. Paul had an unusual encounter with Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus. He was crucified on the fourth day. God gave him a mission, That is, to spread the gospel of God to the foreigners.
Where did this mission come from? Paul said, It was God's commandment, God's call. He did not discuss it with anyone, To be a propagandist. He obeyed God's commandment and call. As God's servant, So, we can say that The gospel he preached, Was not from God.
Chapter 11. Let's look at chapter 17. Paul did not go to Jerusalem, To meet those who were his disciples, To discuss the gospel he preached to the foreigners. Instead, he immediately went to Arapah. Even after three years, He went to Jerusalem to meet Peter.
It was only a period of 15 days. He also met the brother of Jesus Christ, Jacob. He did not meet any other disciples. Why did Paul do this in chapters 17 -19? Why did he do this misdeed? It was because, He once again said to his followers, The gospel he preached, Was not from God.
Nor did he learn it from others. Instead, it was Jesus Christ, Who personally preached it to him. The gospel Paul preached, Was reliable and credible. Paul received the gospel from God, And began to seek, To live a new life.
He went to a Christian church in Judah, And according to his reason, Which was to change Paul's life, He went to a Christian church in Ben Hai, The people of Ben Hai, Now are preaching, The faith that Paul once tried to destroy.
So, these great Christians, Gave glory to God, From chapter 22 -24. The second proof, Is recorded in chapter 2, verse 1 -10. Paul received the gospel from God, And did not teach him to be an outsider.
In Syria and the Gilgit region, In chapter 1, verse 21, Paul preached the faith of Christ, In chapter 1, verse 23. 14 years later, Paul received the gospel from God, With Barnabas and Thibault. Please note, Thibault is a Syrian, But he did not receive the gospel.
The three of them went to Jerusalem. In chapter 2, verse 4, Paul said, Why did they go to Jerusalem? Because there were some false believers. This means, Those who did not believe that Jesus was the Savior, The Lutheran Church, They sneaked in, To visit the Christians, To enjoy the freedom that Jesus had.
In secret, Outside of Paul's temple, Outside of Paul's temple, He wanted to teach them the law. But, In order to teach the truth of the gospel, Paul and his followers, Steadfastly, Did not bow their heads.
In chapter 2, verse 4, What does Paul mean by freedom? What is the truth of the gospel? Paul said, In chapter 2, verse 8, In Christ, I obtained freedom from sin and death. From the mouth of Jesus, On the cross, I obtained freedom.
The Christians, How could they turn their heads, And be slaves to the law? For example, To be exiled, and so on. This, and, God's grace upon them, That is, The protection that Jesus left on the cross, That is, The protection that Jesus left on the cross, So, Paul did not compromise.
Here, on Paul, The Tetrarchy, Sorry, The Tetrarchy around Paul, Is a case, Although he is a Christian, He did not compromise. He did not accept the law. Paul went to Jerusalem, He first, He went to a place, A Christian, He said he was a woman A woman in the midst of the exiles.
That is, Jesus Christ, Jesus himself, Jesus himself, And not from there, And not from there, He was not taught by Paul, He was not taught by Paul,. Paul did this, In the past ten years, Up until now, Paul did this, The truth of the woman, will not be in vain.
Chapter 2, verse 2. Next, Paul, in front of those high-expecting leaders of the Church, testifies for his service. These leaders of the Church should also include the twelve disciples of Jesus, who attended the Ninth Day.
What they preached to Paul did not increase the level of the disciples. What does this mean? What Paul received from Jesus was a revelation, that is, a blessing. And what the disciples preached to Paul from Jesus was the same, the same.
This is obvious, because these two preached the blessing that Paul received from Jesus. One preached the teaching, while the other preached the teaching. Although the way of preaching was different, the nature of the blessing, that is, the blessing of God, was the same.
The other difference was the subject of the preaching. At that time, there were two leaders Peter and John. It was clear that God bestowed the grace of Paul upon the disciples. Before the preaching, Paul preached to the non-Jews as a disciple of the non-Jews.
Just as God bestowed the grace of Peter upon the non-Jews as a disciple, before the preaching, they preached to the Jews as the non-Jews did to the non-Jews. Just as Paul and Balaam used their right hands to preach to each other.
This means that these upright and honorable Church leaders agree and support Paul's preaching to the non-Jews as a disciple. In the work of God, they can now be said to be partners. Where does the work of the Buddhism I preach come from?
It is God's grace, God's enlightenment, God's creation. Today, we not only need to ask, where does the Buddhism we preach come from? Does the Buddhism we preach come from God's words? If not, then you should be careful.
The Christianity you believe in may be contrasted with the Buddhism preached by Jesus and Paul. The Buddhism you believe in may be contrasted with the Buddhism preached by Jesus and Paul. The Buddhism you believe in may be contrasted with the Buddhism preached by Jesus and Paul.
Or it may be the Buddhism preached by someone else. Then you should go back to the words of the Bible and understand the true Buddhism. The third verse is recorded in 2 Peter 11 -14. Here we see Paul and Peter's conflict.
We can also say that it is the conflict between them. Paul went to Antioch. There, Peter and his non-Christian followers ate together. This means that Peter did this because he had a deep faith. He did not want to see anyone as a misunderstanding.
He did not want to see anyone as a misunderstanding. This means that there is no difference between Jews and non-Christians in Jesus Christ. At this time, some non-Christians from Antioch came to Peter.
Peter was afraid of these people's criticism, so he separated himself from the non-Christians. Other non-Christians also pretended to follow Peter. Even the Panamanians followed their hypocrisy. Paul saw that they did not follow the true path of the Father.
Therefore, Paul's approach was meaningful. He accused Peter of being a misunderstanding. Even though Peter was a non-Christian, Peter was a Christian. At this time, he separated himself from the essence of Jesus Christ.
What's more, these non-Christians had to go through persecution to become Jews, so that they could eat together. This may include the Passover. Therefore, the non-Christians had to go through persecution to become Jews.
Isn't this also the case in today's Catholic Church? They also made the same mistakes as Peter. They misjudged the values of the Church, and so on. They split up the Church, and went against the truth of the gospel.
2 Peter 4, verse 14. Paul's behavior towards Peter was more than that. The gospel he preached was not out of human will. It was Jesus Christ himself who preached the truth to him. 4 Peter 5, verse 15 -22.
This passage is recorded in 2 Peter 5, verse 15 -22. Did you really receive the Holy Spirit from me? Some people say that the Holy Spirit came to them. Others say that it was our body, or our skin color, and so on.
Paul said in verse 16,. People are called by their will, not by their faith. No one can be called a Christian by his faith. Today, no one can completely follow every law. No one can meet the requirements of the law.
In the end, no one is a Christian. How can one be called a Christian? Paul said that one can be called a Christian by his faith in Jesus Christ. Paul was very clear about this. When he was on the brink of sin, he committed adultery and committed adultery by his faith in Jesus Christ.
It was the grace of God that saved him. He was unable to meet the requirements of the law. He died in the name of the law. He was once again commanded by God so that he could live for God. Paul said in verse 2,.
Because of the grace of God, he loved Jesus Christ and gave his life for Him. Now, he believes in Jesus Christ. He is already on the cross with Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Christ who lives in him. Paul is a new life given by Jesus Christ.
Where does Paul get his new life from? The answer is by faith in Jesus Christ. Martin Luther says in verse 20,. He loved me and gave his life for me. We must firmly believe in the faith in Jesus Christ.
We must firmly believe in the faith in Jesus Christ. We must firmly believe in the faith in Jesus Christ. Charles Wesley, a great poet and composer, says that this second chapter of the Gospel is an important step for him to accept the gospel.
He says, he suffered, he waited, he prayed, for the Lord Jesus Christ who loved me and gave his life for me. Brothers and sisters, The gospel is a good news. Its foundation is the grace of God, and not based on the laws, or the doctrines, religious rituals, ethics, morality, etc.
If anyone is cunning enough to break some rules in the gospel, and believe that this is the right way to be saved, then we do not need this kind of grace. This is equivalent to giving up the grace, and saying that the death of Jesus Christ was a sudden death.
Where do you get this idea from? I think this is your duty. Give up the grace, and let your pride and your jealousy stand on the cross. Because the death of Jesus Christ brought us grace and a new life.
Thank you for listening. Goodbye.
