TODAY’S WORD: The Gospel’s Divine Origin: Insights from Galatians 1

HIGH FIVE!

In Galatians 1:11-24, Paul is emphasizing that the gospel he preaches is not man-made but a divine revelation from Jesus Christ himself. This passage is significant for a few reasons:

  1. Divine Source: Paul wants to assure the Galatians that the message he delivers is from God, not influenced by human authorities or traditions. This strengthens his authority and separates his message from others who might be teaching a different gospel.
  2. Personal Testimony: Paul shares his life before his conversion, highlighting his former zeal for Jewish traditions and his persecution of Christians. This transformation underscores the power of the gospel and his genuine calling.
  3. Receiving Acceptance: Paul makes it clear that after his conversion, he did not immediately consult with anyone but instead went into Arabia. It reinforces that his instruction comes directly from God. Eventually, when he did interact with the apostles in Jerusalem, they accepted his mission.

This passage underscores the divine origin of Paul’s message and his unique role as an apostle to the Gentiles. It reinforces the idea that the gospel is universal and unbound by human constraints or traditions.

The text “ACTS 10:34-43” refers to a specific passage in the Book of Acts in the Bible. Let’s explore its significance:

  1. Peter Shares the Message of Salvation to Gentiles:

    • Peter tells them that everything they had heard about Jesus of Nazareth was true. He emphasizes that Jesus is Lord of all and came to earth to preach peace throughout Israel.
    • The passage highlights Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection by God. Peter witnessed Jesus’s miracles and His resurrection from the dead.
    • Peter concludes by explaining that Jesus will one day judge all people, and everyone who believes in Him will be forgiven.
  2. Breaking Down the Passage:
    • Verse 34: Peter acknowledges that God does not show partiality. He realizes that the gospel is not limited to Jews but extends to all people.
    • Verse 35: Peter’s vision (Acts 10:10-16) taught him that God does not consider Gentiles as unholy. He now understands that God wants all people to be reconciled to Him.
    • Verse 36: Peter shares the gospel with Cornelius and other Gentiles. It’s the first time the gospel is preached directly to a Gentile audience.
    • Verses 37-39: Peter recounts Jesus’s ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection.
