Galatians
2:
Galatians
2:1 ¶ Then fourteen
years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas,
and took Titus
with me also.
Galatians
2:2 And I went up by revelation, and
communicated unto them that gospel which
I preach among
the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation,
lest by any
means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Galatians
2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a
Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Note Paul is
now discussing the subject of circumcision as pointing to “our liberty,
which we have
in Christ Jesus”. This is a
new aspect of law keeping, in relation to “circumcision”,
which I show
him to reveal to his brethren.
Galatians
2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares
brought in, who came in privily
to spy out our
liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into
bondage:
By suggesting circumcision, these “spies”, by that suggestion, were attempting to interfere
with this now established liberty in My Son. They were referring directly
to new Gentile converts. This was interfering with the truth of the Gospel set in My Son.
Galatians
2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not
for an hour;
that the truth
of the gospel might continue with you.
Galatians
2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat,
(whatsoever
they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:)
for they who
seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
Galatians
2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision
was committed
unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Galatians
2:8 (For he that wrought
effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision,
the same was mighty
in me, Paul (toward the Gentiles:)
Through Paul, I explain that there is one Gospel in My Son, but this one Gospel
is to be applied in a different manner, if it becomes a problem to the Jews,
they can continue to circumcise the flesh provided they have accepted My Son.
However the Gentiles simply need to accept my Son without circumcision.
This is done so that “non-circumcision” must not be a stumbling block
to the Jews or “Circumcision” to the Gentiles. For either group, whether
Jews or Gentile, My Son, is the “Circumcision of the heart” and the main issue,
there is no need for either group to be circumcised physically.
However, so that physical or spiritual circumcision does not present a stumbling block
for either group, I allow Jews to continue to be circumcised if they wan to do so,,
although this is not necessary,y and Gentiles do not need to be circumcised.
My People can do what
they like on this issue, provided, they understand it
is only
by My Son that Salvation comes. In this way “circumcision does not become a divisive
issue and acceptance of My Son is the focus.
However, in Galatians 5:5 Paul points out, that those sticking to the old circumcision
are “debtors to do the whole law”. Because they now put themselves under the whole law,
they place themselves under the old burden of keeping the whole law.
What is that burden? If one law is broken, they are cursed, for they have broken
the whole law. However, IN Christ, when they repent of their sin
they
are cleansed, and forgiven.
To stand alone IN Christ is what fulfils the whole law. This is what Paul is advising here,
because disputes arose in the church, with the new Jewish coverts, about this matter.
Galatians 5:1 ¶ Stand fast
therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you,
that if ye be circumcised,
Christ
shall profit you nothing.
Galatians 5:3 For I testify again to
every man that is circumcised, that
he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Galatians 5:6 For in
Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor
uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet
preach circumcision, why do I yet
suffer
persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision availeth any thing,
nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature.
So you might ask am I saying that circumcision is done away with?
Answer No.
So what am I saying it is?
It is a circumcision of the heart and not of the flesh.
This is on a far higher plane, just like to commit adultery,
no longer consists of an act but a thought in the mind.
Ephesians 2:15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
But I also say:
Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled.
So this is how
I kept My Word both to Jew and Gentile. Note I never compromised with
pagans as
My church does by accepting their customs.
Exodus 12:14
And this day( Passover) shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall
keep
it a feast to
the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast
by an ordinance for ever.
This command was given by Me to the Israelites under Moses, not just to Judah (Jews).
Those, the world over,
who accept My Son through obedience to the Holy Spirit are
now
Israel,
whether Jew or Gentile. My Holy Spirit never
breaks any of My laws,
which
I have established eternally, nor condones those who do.
If
this happened I would be a liar.
Romans 2:25
For circumcision verily
profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law,
thy circumcision
is made uncircumcision.
Romans 2:26
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his
uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Galatians
2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed
to be pillars, perceived
the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me
and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship;
that we should
go unto the heathen(Gentiles), and they unto the circumcision
(Jews).
Galatians
2:10 Only they would that we should
remember the poor;
the same which
I also was forward to do.
This is an important aspect of the My Gospel – remembering the poor,
for My Son spoke much about he poor in Matthew 26. one
of the first talks
He gave setting out His ministry.
Galatians
2:11 ¶ But when Peter
was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,
because he was
to be blamed.
Galatians
2:12 For before that certain came from James, he
did eat with the Gentiles:
but when they
were come, he withdrew and separated himself,
fearing them
which were of the circumcision.
Galatians
2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with
him; insomuch that Barnabas
also was
carried away with their dissimulation.
Galatians
2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly
according to the truth
of the gospel,
I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after
the manner
of Gentiles,
and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the
Jews?
Galatians
2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not
sinners of the Gentiles,
Galatians
2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith
of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified
by the faith of
Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law
shall no flesh
be justified.
Although, My
Law, except the parts which have been fulfilled by My Son,
is to be kept
forever, it cannot save
a single person.
Only faith and
obedience to Jesus Christ can achieve this Salvation.
That is why
the Jews while keeping My Laws, MUST accept My Son.
Galatians
2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified
by Christ, we ourselves also are found
sinners (ie
breaking the law, for “sin is
the transgression of the law” 1 John 3:4)
is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God
forbid.
Galatians
2:18 For if I build again the things which I
destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Galatians
2:19 For I through the law am dead to the
law, that I might live unto God.
Galatians
2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ
liveth in me: 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
2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by
the law,
then Christ is
dead in vain.
If My Law is broken, then sin is in the
camp (1John 3:4), and My Son’s redeeming life
is halted till repentance is requested and
granted. My Son’s Sacrifice does not cover wilful
sin if continued, however much the
depth of pleading.
Heartfelt Repentance and reliance totally
on My Son, must come first.
There are many who bear the fruits of sin
but refuse to repent and CHANGE,
and
then wonder why they are still suffering. I want to give them good health,
but I can have nothing to do with
unrepented sin.
There are some, however, who through mercy
I heal to show MY Power.
John 9:2
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or
his parents,
that he was
born blind?
John 9:3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
but that the
works of God should be made manifest in him.
. The only way out of this dilemma is Jesus
Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
We have to be under His Care and
Protection.
Salvation by any other name or means,
Simply does not exist.
Complete
Obedience is required
Praise
the Lord.
Come soon Lord Jesus.
Amen.
