Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion
- Read Galatians 1:11-24. Why is it so important to Paul to prove that the gospel he preached is “not man’s gospel”? What would make a gospel be “man’s gospel”?
- How does Paul argue his case? What does he appeal to in order to prove that this gospel is not from man?
- What do we learn about God and his ways in conversion in verses 15-16? In what ways can you see that you have been “set apart,” “called,” and had the son “revealed” to you?
- What was Paul doing in Arabia, Damascus, Syria, and Cilicia? How did this time prepare him for his ministry? Why was this time necessary?
- How does the power of the supernatural gospel bring assurance of salvation? What authority does this gospel have in your life?
Memory Verse of the Week: 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. (ESV)
