GALATIANS 2
3 Outlines
Galatians 2:1-10
MEETING IN
COMMUNICATION OF BELIEF - Vss. 1-2, 6
Paul reported what he was preaching to the church at
There was no problem with his teaching. It was
approved for its accuracy.
CONTROVERSY OVER CIRCUMCISION - Vss. 3-5
Titus, a partner in ministry with Paul, was a Greek.
Some would have circumcised him, but Paul refused. Circumcision is not needed for salvation.
COMMISSION TO GENTILE MINISTRY - Vss. 7-10
Ministries and methods vary. Paul was commissioned to go to the Gentiles.
As Peter was mighty as an Apostle to the Jews, Paul
was mighty as an Apostle to the Gentiles.

Galatians 2:20
THE BELIEVER'S CRUCIFIXION
IT'S PERSONAL - "I am crucified... " See Romans
6:1-10
When Christ died on the cross, each believer died with
Him.
IT'S A PARTNERSHIP - "...with Christ:..."
He actually took my place on that cross.
IT'S PRECIOUS - "...nevertheless I live; yet not
I, but Christ liveth in me:..."
To think that very Son of God has taken up residence
in my life through His Spirit. WOW!
IT'S PRACTICAL - "...and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
himself for me."

Galatians 2:20
GRATEFUL LIVING
Do you appreciate what
Christ has done for you? You can show your appreciation by the way you live.
Paul was grateful for
what Christ had done in his life and it was his motivation for godly living.
In Galatians
MY POSITION - " I am
crucified with Christ:"
Christ died for me,
therefore, when He died, I died. Romans 6:1-4, 10-14
I should see myself as
dead to the power of sin in my life.
MY POWER -
"...nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:"
Christ is powerful. Colossians
1:15-18
His power is available
in my life. Philippians 4:13, Ephesians
MY PRACTICE -
"...and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God..."
