Galatians Part Two: Deeper Faith Study



Deeper Faith Study

Topic: I'm Right

Read: Galatians 2:1-21; Acts 15:1-35

Discuss:

1. Why did Paul go to Jerusalem to visit the Christian leaders?

2. Who was Paul referring to by saying, “those men who seemed to be important…added nothing to my message?”

3. Why did Paul publically rebuke Peter? Was it right of him to do this?

4. Explain justification: How does grace play a part in this? How about the law?

5. How does verse 20 apply to you?

Pray: Pray that the Lord would help you understand grace and justification more deeply. Pray that your justification and grace would extend to your treatment of others.

Memorize/Meditate:   “…yet we know that a person is justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.”      Galatians 2:16
