10-04 - Galatians 2 1-5

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

   🕊️reading & study 🕊️

1 - Then after fourteen years I (Paul) went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who have been deemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles. This was in order to be sure I was not running or had not run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, was not required to be circumcised, though he was a Greek (thus never circumcised). 4 For false brothers had secretly come in to spy out the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so they might bring us into captivity - 5 but we didn’t yield nor submit to them, not for a moment, so the truth of the gospel might continue with you. {Receiving grace is “the new and living way” not a system of earning, which purpose was to show us all we cannot, in an imperfect/entropic condition ever achieve. We “must be born again”. “The seed Jesus” implanted in our heart/upon our inner throne, and of course watered and nurtured like any seed, in order to take root, grow and bear fruit. Grace to be able to live up to, and exceed the Old Agreement laws.. No adultery.. not in the heart either, do not murder.. do noT hate.. World powers that be, inspire hate, not the Spirit/Presence of God. The still tares will be gathered to man’s armageddon bonfire, Is.24:20/Rev.10:4; Mt.13:30.}

Tomorrow - Galatians 2:6-10

My own studies, had to paraphrase to post.. which has turned out to be an interesting way to ‘enter the ‘story’. 

Start the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)
