Okay, we've finally arrived from here on we are on higher ground of human spirituality and growth in our knowledge and GOD'S perfecting us as he desires. The next three Epistles are further evidence when seen through his eyes as Redeemed sons and because there are those among us who's frame were taken from mans in Genesis we shall include to female form. But never loose sight of this fact, the female is of the weaker (meaning second) vessel of humanity's origin and man (as the first vessel) is her guardian and protector. Lets see what light we shall find in Galatians revelation of Christ in you.
Galatians 1:1-5, 6-10 "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead); And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil(G4190) world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (KJV)
Galatians 1:1-5, 6-10 "Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil(G4190) age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." (ESV)
Galatians 1:1-5, 6-10 "My name is Paul, my ministry and message are neither accredited to a theological education, nor am I sponsored by a religious institution. I am sanctioned by Jesus the Messiah (of promise) and GOD the Father who raised him from the dead. (Apostle, compelled to go, commissioned. [2Corinthians 5:14, 20 and Romans 1:5] Rather than a title, Apostleship defines the compelling urgency that prompts the spreading of the gospel of GOD. The resurrection inspired the commission. Paul saw that humanity was co-raised together with Christ [Hosea 6:2 and Ephesians 2:5-6]) I and my team of fellow believers here in Rome address this letter to all the churches in Galatia. We greet you with grace and the peace that comes from knowing GOD as your Father, and Jesus who heads up the Christ-life. (Jesus is LORD of the Christ-life; the very life of our design unveiled.) Grace and peace have their reference in the fact that Jesus gave himself as the scapegoat for our sins and plucked us out from the [1]evil of this present religious age (of darkness, suspension) that encroaches on us. This was exactly what the Father of spirits planned in his Agape for humanity. (The word, [1,G4190 ] poneros, means full of labors, hardships and annoyances; the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and labor "poneros!" This concludes in a judgment based on performance. Which is the opposite to an opinion of approval based on value! ) His glorious reputation is ageless; it extends beyond all times and seasons. We salute him with our amen! (Nothing that religion communicates in any age or context can match him.)
I am amazed that you can so easily be fooled into swapping the Gospel for a gimmick! The Gospel reveals the integrity of your original identity rescued in Christ; the gimmick is a conglomeration of grace and legalism. This mixture boils down to a do-it-yourself plan of salvation. (Which is a recipe for disaster.) There is no other gospel in spite of the many so-called Christian products branded "gospel." If any hint of the Law remains, it is not good news but mere religious people's ideas, detracting from the gospel of Christ. (Some seek to unsettle our minds by perverting the Gospel to accommodate their own opinion.) I and any of my team would stand equally disqualified, even if we claim to have had an Angelic visitation, if what we preach were to stray ever so slightly from the Gospel of the finished work of Christ. Let me be blatant and clear about this: any gospel that does not emphasize the success of the cross is counterfeit and produces nothing but the curse! (In sharp contrast to the time when I needed letters of authority from the religious institutions of the day, endorsing my mission.) GOD is my complete persuasion. I answer to him alone, not anyone else! Christ employed me; I am addicted to his grace. Popular religious opinions will not influence me to compromise my message. (What is the point of an impressive CV, when your Maker is not even asking for it?) (The Mirror)
Okay, we've gotten our feet wet! Until our next visit the LORD willing keep your feet dry and in his revelation that springs from within you and yours.
