Galatians Part 3 God Reveals Christ To Us. Paul was trained by the grace (enablement) of God all his life. Paul said he ravaged the church, but one day God called Paul and revealed His Son Jesus Christ to Paul. It wasn’t Paul, or we, who decide one day to come to Christ. Scripturally, a day comes when God calls us and reveals Jesus Christ to us.
Galatians Part 3 Paul gives his autobiography in this section. False teaching removes us from Christ. Paul didn’t receive his teaching from men. His teaching was revelation from God. How much of what we are taught is from men rather than revelation from God?
