GALATIANS OUTLINE
GALATIANS OUTLINE
If you look at you syllabus you will see our general outline of Galatians
Testimony of Paul (Gal. 1-2)
Teaching of Paul (Gal 3-4)
Application from Paul (Gal 5-6)
The first 2 chapters was a testimony of Paul
showing his credibility
The next 2 chapters (3&4) was a teaching of Paul
proving to us
that if we begun right with God by Spirit through faith
then we will continue to growing by Spirit through faith
The next 2 chapters (5&6)
gives us an application from his previous teachings
making chapter 5 pretty easy to follow and enjoy!
read Gal 5:1-15
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
From Wiersbe:
It is easy to see the sequence of thought in these closing chapters:
1. I have been set free by Christ. I am no longer under bondage to the Law (Gal. 5:1–12).
2. But I need something—Someone—to control my life from within. That Someone is the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:13–26).
3. Through the Spirit’s love, I have a desire to live for others, not for self (Gal. 6:1–10).
4. This life of liberty is so wonderful, I want to live it to the glory of God; for He is the One making it possible (Gal. 6:11–18).
