7.3.22 Galatians 1

Download Lesson: 7.3.22 Class Notes – Galatians 1

LOOK:

Paul had taught the Galatian Christians that their salvation depended solely on their faith in Jesus. This great gift was by the grace, the unmerited favor, of God. The Judaizers had come along to add another requirement: Gentile converts must become Jewish proselytes. The old and the new way must not be mixed. Salvation, by God’s graciousness, is now free. It comes exclusively through faith in Jesus. He says, don’t clutter up free grace with the old out-moded forms of gaining favor with God through the kinds of activities which the law required.

LOOK:

Saul started out with so much promise. He was chosen and anointed by God. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He had the support of a man of God like Samuel. He had been given gifts appropriate to royalty. But despite all these great advantages, Saul can still blow it. Will he walk in the advantages God had given him so far, or will he go his own way? What about us? Are we stewarding His gifts and His anointing?

LOOK:

The request for a human king was not in itself improper, for God had promised such a leader. But the refusal to wait for God’s timing was clearly displeasing to the Lord and to His prophet, Samuel. We can never go wrong seeking God’s leadership through prayer. We need to hear His voice first and foremost, and then obey.

5.15.22 2 Timothy 4

Download Lesson: 5.15.22 Class Notes – 2 Tim 4

LOOK:

Second Timothy teaches us about the importance of our theological heritage (1:14). Paul had much to say about what God has done in Christ, our Savior. Jesus Christ has been revealed, destroyed death, and given us life and immortality (1:8–10). The foundation of the Christian life is what God has already done for us in Christ. We should live boldly, for we have received “a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline” (1:7). These truths about the gospel and Christian living are available to us in God’s inspired Scripture (3:15–17). Now we, like Timothy, should pass on these truths to faithful men and women who can teach others also (2:2).
