NO OTHER GOSPEL

Galatians 1:1-24

Key Verse 1:6-7a

[6]“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- [7] which is really no gospel at all.”

1. Read verses 1-2. How does Paul identify himself? Why do you think Paul points out that his apostleship comes from God rather than men? 

2. Read verses 3-5. How does Paul greet the church in Galatia (v. 3)? What did Jesus do for us (v. 4)? Why is it important to remember that (a) Jesus gave himself for our sins, and (b) he did so to rescue us from the present evil age? How should we respond to God’s grace through Jesus (v. 5)?

3. Read verses 6-10. Why was Paul astonished? How were the believers thrown into confusion (see Gal. 5:10-11)? What does Paul have to say about those who are preaching a different gospel (vs. 8-9)? Why does Paul say such a harsh thing (v. 10)?

4. Read verses 11-24. Why is Paul so confident that the gospel he preaches comes from God? What does Paul’s transformation show about the gospel he received from God (vs. 23-24)?
