145 Set Free by the Law of Love

Galatians 1–6, TBC Book Two, Chapter 145
Concerns for the believers in yet another region prompted Paul to write them a letter as well. . . .

Paul, an apostle sent by the Lord Jesus and by the Father, who raised him from the dead, and from all the brothers here with me, to the churches in Galatia: Grace and peace to you.

I am shocked to learn that you are now turning from the grace of Christ to a different gospel. Apparently some people have come into your midst who are perverting the gospel of Christ. May anyone who is promoting a gospel other than the one we preached to you be condemned by God!

The gospel I presented to you was not made up by me or anyone else: It was a revelation I received directly from Jesus Christ, when the Lord himself instructed me while I was in Arabia and again later in Damascus. I did not even meet the other apostles until three years after my conversion.

Fourteen years later, I went back to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas and Titus, and I shared with them the gospel I was presenting to the Gentiles, the revelation I had received. . . .
