The essence of it is that it does not describe the spirit which desires, nobly or ignobly, to have what someone else has: it describes the spirit which grudges the fact that the other person has these things at all. "Here, I'll show it to you in this book." But then there is another point of exhortation too; and surely we ought not to forget that there are not only the common links of love, and the willingness to succour one another, as we see, beginning with a most extreme case and ending with a general one; but still further, "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things;" and not only that, but also the general responsibility of the saint and in a solemn manner. These things are not allowed in the kingdom of God. There was no believer, Jew or Gentile, who had not gladly submitted to that very blessed sign of having part with Christ, and of that which is made good by Christ. That's the old nature that wants its way, that wants to insist on its own way and all. Causes me to become judgmental. Galatians 5 Galatians 5:7 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. Not striving. You who seek to get yourselves right with God by means of legalism have got yourself into a position in which you have rendered ineffective all that Christ did for you. Aristocracy means government by the best, but best is left to be defined. dissolution; for as no civil community, either public or private, So, love is the fulfilling of the law. Monarchy is government by one, and began in the interests of efficiency, for government by committees has always had its drawbacks. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith ( Galatians 5:5 ). 5:1-12 Look now it is I, Paul, who am speaking to you I tell you that if you get yourself circumcised Christ is no good to you. "I am crucified with Christ." Christianity is the only true democracy, because in a Christian state everyone would think as much of his neighbour as he does of himself. Consequently, without further preamble, and with an ominous silence as to their state (for, indeed, it could not be spoken of), he at once breaks the ground. If it should be asked, What course must we take that the better interest may get the better? There is no approach to a vaunt about his dignity. . Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, and was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which were in Christ." Galatians 5:13 (NASB) Verse Thoughts We are not under the Law, but under grace. So the stumbling-block of the Cross is removed, is it? You can't do anything to buy forgiveness. He saw Peter; but "other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother." How could it be otherwise with one persecuting at the moment that he was arrested, in hot deadly opposition to God's church up to his most unexpected call from heaven? I can yield to my flesh and I can blow off steam and I can get in and I can fight and I can get into the striving and the whole issue. And this is a universal principle. "In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature." Those in Christ must stand firm against anyone who would try to drag them into slavery under the law (Galatians 5:1). Romans chapter six, "Know ye that the old man was crucified with Christ? Jesus has set us free - free from the slavery of sin, free from slavery to the law. Jewish elements were borne with in a Jew. But it was true from the first. Make a child thoroughly happy, and you will soon see that its duty becomes comparatively light and a joy. And, as this would be the best means of preserving them from fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, so it would be a good evidence that they were Christians indeed; for, says the apostle (Galatians 5:18; Galatians 5:18), If you be led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The apostle concludes this chapter with a caution against pride and envy, Galatians 5:26; Galatians 5:26. All question of natural ties drops in death; as the cross is the disproof of any right to Christ in either. There is a warfare that goes on in the life of the believer. Thus he accepts the challenge that was given by unbelief. If I am a man, I am responsible as such; being fallen and sinful, this will end in judgment. Thus it appears that the Galatians as well as the Corinthians had been similarly affected. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another ( Galatians 5:13 ). No doubt this might be provoking to human importance sometimes. is this all? But the liberty is not a liberty to indulge my flesh in anything that I may desire to do after the flesh. He does not deny that others preached it; but if so, they preached the same truth. But if ye bite and devour one another,. Another reason inducing to love is taken from the pernicious consequences of a contrary spirit and conduct. When He gave the promise to Abraham, He said, "I will give." In either case "let him be accursed.". By the Spirit of God, we're waiting for that hope of righteousness through faith. He's just whacked me with the rod. Paul had written in the earlier part, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me" ( Galatians 2:20 ). To be under law was fatal to Jerusalem. (14) An exhortation to the duties of charity, by the profit that follows from it, because no men proved worse for themselves than they that hate one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Thus, rightly understood and applied, the law and the promises, while wholly distinct, are in no way inconsistent with each other. Oligarchy means government by the few and can be justified by arguing that only the few are fit to govern. As for himself, he gloried only in the cross. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith" (not those that cry up the law) "are the children of Abraham. Because you'll never come to their beliefs by just reading the Bible. He is brought into another condition. And Peter said, "I suggest that we not place a yoke of bondage on them which neither we, nor our fathers were able to bear" ( Acts 15:10 ). That's where I come in touch with God. Others are sins against our neighbour, and contrary to the royal law of brotherly love, such as hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, which too often occasion seditions, heresies, envyings, and sometimes break out into murders, not only of the names and reputation, but even of the very lives, of our fellow-creatures. It might have been inferred that Paul was to do what he could with the Gentile churches, but that the twelve exclusively cared for the churches in Judea, he consequently having nothing to do with them. "This persuasion didn't come from God.". The contents of the greeting ( Galatians 1:3a ) ii. "I through law am dead to law, that I might live unto God." Only we must carefully bear this in mind, that in the epistle to the Galatians we never rise exactly to church ground. At the same time he insists in the most peremptory manner that our liberty in Christ is to be used for holiness. [Note: Barclay, p. I call your attention particularly to this, brethren, that an act apparently so simple as Peter's ceasing to eat with the Gentiles had such a solemn character in the eye of the apostle Paul, that he considered it a question of the truth of the gospel. (vss. Verse 15. Far too short a time, if it were a question of due initiation into the testimony of the twelve. Therefore, when a man is baptized, he is not, of course, baptized into his own death; there is no sense in such a thought. Paul begins chapter 5 by stating flatly that Christ has set us free in order that we should be free. This is heavy. And Paul, far from deriving his apostleship or aught else from Peter, was obliged to rebuke him, and this publicly. He was given, whether in power or in person, not by the law, but by the hearing of faith. It's just, you know, too difficult. Nor this only. Here particularly the Christian is guarded against the inroads of legalism. There followed Paul teachers, Judaizers who brought another gospel, which was not really a gospel. Here he takes up, not the mischievous troublers of the Gentiles, whom he does not hesitate to call "false brethren," but the highest in office he found there. In other words, if you're going to take this as an act of righteousness to make you righteous before God, as being a part of the law, then it will be necessary for you to keep the entire law in order to be righteous before God. How impossible, therefore, to add the law to the promise! Christ will never own those as his who yield themselves the servants of sin. Their ears were heavy, and their eyes blinded by their legalism. (c) Most often of all it means being considerate ( 1 Corinthians 4:21; 2 Corinthians 10:1; Ephesians 4:2). And they glorified God in me.". As far as this temper prevails among Christians, they will be ready to slight and despise those whom they look upon as inferior to them, and to be put out of humour if they are denied that respect which they think is their due from them, and they will also be apt to envy those by whom their reputation is in any danger of being lessened: and thus a foundation is laid for those quarrels and contentions which, as they are inconsistent with that love which Christians ought to maintain towards each other, so they are greatly prejudicial to the honour and interest of religion itself. Dictionary entry details GALATIANS (noun) Sense 1 Meaning: A New Testament book containing the epistle from Saint Paul to the Galatians Classified under: To impugn the one is to imperil the other. Christian faith and behavior are never more frustrated and disgraced than by spiteful criticisms, derogatory remarks, snide observations and poison-tongue fulminations of Christians against each other. This is the constitution of your priceless liberty. And devour one another - As wild beasts do. They had followed Jesus in His earthly path of presentation to Israel. with the affections and lusts [with its desires]. There is such a thing as, by patient continuance in well doing, to seek for eternal life. And in the fifteenth chapter of Acts, we read how that Peter stood up and told the brethren how that the Lord had called him to go to the Gentiles to the house of Cornelius. And then concludes the chapter with a caution against pride and envy. It is interesting to note that Chara and Eirene both became very common Christian names in the Church. "This persuasion, this ideas that you have, they don't really come from God, from the One who called you. Christ is your liberty and life. Now the Galatians were unwittingly in danger of giving up the truth. "Ye which are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." Their main support then, as they thought Abraham, had two sons; but they stood, according to Scripture, on wholly different principles. In lxx metaphorically, Micah 3:5; Habakkuk 2:7. In other words, if the believer simply were one forgiven by grace, without having either life in Christ or the Holy Ghost dwelling in him, he might, perhaps, plead that he could not avoid sinning. Hagar herself was a slave and all her children were born into slavery; and that covenant whose basis is the law turns men into slaves of the law. As in their baptism they were obliged hereunto (for, being baptized into Christ, they were baptized into his death, Romans 6:3), so they are now sincerely employing themselves herein, and, in conformity to their Lord and head, are endeavouring to die unto sin, as he had died for it. It is a grim illustration at which a polite society raises its eyebrows, but it would be intensely real to the Galatians who knew all about the priests of Cybele. He specifies the works of the flesh, which must be watched against and mortified, and the fruits of the Spirit, which must be brought forth and cherished, and shows of what importance it is that they be so, ver 19-24. Yet how true it is, the more we look below the surface; indeed, in our day it becomes more and more palpable to the eye. Don't become seekers after empty reputation; don't provoke each other: don't envy each other. But he goes deeply. That's what God accounts, the righteousness of Christ accounted to my account through my faith in Jesus Christ.Now, because I can't keep the first, I have opted for the second. I could quickly get in trouble. This is all that people's zeal and labour come to. Take heed that ye be not consumed - As wild beasts contend sometimes until both are slain. But as in the end the child of the slave girl was cast out and had no share in the inheritance, so in the end those who are legalists will be cast out from God and have no share in the inheritance of grace. I tried." Hagar had a son called Ishmael. That is, if you are circumcised ritually for the purpose of having a righteous standing before God. But we have a good deal more. He gives us a catalogue of evil things. "But though we" Paul himself, or any that were associated with him "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." And God held the reins that the truth might be kept unsullied and pure; and he goes south and north as the Lord guided His servant, but not to Jerusalem to those that were apostles before him. He mentions another fact, and of the greatest gravity, closing this part of his argument that when Peter subsequently came down into the Gentile quarters, he had been himself affected by the subtle spirit of Judaism, i.e., the chief of the twelve! But as for the apostle Paul, he says he was called, and this by his master from heaven; but by his own showing nobody heard the call of Christ but himself. The apostle stands to the truth preached and received. "Be as I am." 18 but if you are led by (verse 16-18) the spirit, you are not under law. The very reverse of their system is true. Chrysostom said that it is the grace of the man who could revenge himself and does not, the man who is slow to wrath. When Jerusalem is humbled by the mercy of God, and betakes herself to her Messiah and the new covenant, she will "hear the law," and the prophets will be accomplished in her blessing, and in the largeness of love the present children of promise (even Christians, as being in a certain mystical sense children of Jerusalem) will be her boast. And facts tell on their mind. And of the priest of this pagan god. This was the serious move of the enemy. I have not. Just as he had shown that God in His love to man had given the promise direct, so the apostle Paul acts in his care for the saints of God where all the foundations were endangered. If Peter was acting rightly now, this had all been a mistake, and consequently the gospel nay, solemn to say, Christ Himself would be thus a minister of sin. From the beginning Hagar had been inclined to triumph over Sarah, because barrenness was a sore shame to a woman; there was an atmosphere charged with trouble. Now, there are two ways that I can be righteous. person's state and condition God-ward may be safe; or lest their So I must be righteous in order to have fellowship with God. Partisan strife will be fatal to the Christian community as a whole. This passage, however, indicates they are having disputes. The long lapse of time ought to have guarded men from mixing up the law with the promise, and thus from the appearance of annulling the promise by the law, for this would be most dishonouring to God. Hereon the apostle puts before them another expostulation: "I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain." I'd rather trust and be burned than not to trust. The reason is, that he has not yet come to own by faith that he has no strength any more than righteousness, and that Christ is all and in all. Because you have been born of the Spirit, you can see it, you can understand it; it's as plain as can be. That is, if the Holy Ghost was given as the seal of their redemption, and as the joy of the sonship, wherein they now stood, in the exercise of their nearness to God and enjoyment of His love, they cry, "Abba, Father," the very words of Christ himself (but in how different circumstances!) 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. And it is in the realm of the spirit where man meets God. Such is the secret of true power. She did what any wife would have done in those patriarchal times and sent Abraham in to her slave girl, Hagar, to see if she could bear a child on her behalf. and devour one another -- As wild beasts do. The outline of the story is as follows: Abraham and Sarah were far advanced in years and Sarah had no child. And your spirit being alive, again you can experience fellowship with God, the joy, the blessing of fellowshipping with God.So, "walk in the Spirit." Do you want a law? How distressing, how mad is it, that we, who are members of the same body, should be leagued together, of our own accord, for mutual destruction! He tells us that fourteen years after he again went up to Jerusalem. 2 Mark my words! God did not intend man to live that way, because man living that way is alienated from God who is a Spirit. Thus it is evident that the legal system is a parenthesis. Thus it was the ardour of love and grief; it was the earnestness of his purpose that could not bear in this instance to employ an intermediary. Well, then, it stands written in it that Abraham had two sons; one was the son of the slave girl and one was the son of the free woman. Eternal life is beyond doubt the gift of divine grace; but, besides, the eternal life that I have now by pure and simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is what I find at the end of my course as well as at the starting. Now you've got to defend it against the challenges and so you've got to start making up or taking positions that are thoroughly unscriptural in order to defend your position." It is not the joy that comes from earthly things, still less from triumphing over someone else in competition. This agape love is gentle; it is good. Democracy means government of the people, by the people, for the people. Ritualism is the present most patent comment on the apostle's statement. It is the quality, not so much of the jealous, but rather of the embittered mind. These words are used by him emphatically; for he did not merely say Bite, which denotes an angry person, but likewise, Devour, which denotes one who persists in wickedness. And now in Christ He has accomplished it I mean already. It was something painful to bear. In the case of the twelve, we do find an apostle chosen to supply the gap of Judas chosen, I admit, of God, though after a Jewish sort, as Chrysostom justly remarks, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given. Or are you inclined toward the easy-going yieldingness of Peter? Once the spirit has come alive, now there comes this striving for the mastery of me. So it was, then, that the apostle presents his own wonderful relation to Christ. "The things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. He saw that the tree was pleasant to look upon, it was tasty to eat and it would make him wise as God. When God gives a pledge not of possessing the gate of enemies, when He speaks of the blessing of the nations, instead of the overthrow of Israel's foes, then he speaks simply of "thy seed." How precious to have done with one's sinful self and to begin a life so perfect as Christ's! "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." I wish that those who are upsetting you would get themselves not only circumcised but castrated! "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female;" all is Christ and only Christ. Now, the whole idea is to be righteous before God in order that I might have fellowship with God. "Then after three years," he says, "I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter." That is, the apostle, instead of regarding his despised freedom from the law as a just reproach, glories in it. Euripides called it "the greatest of all diseases among men." It can even be used in a good sense in that connection, but much more commonly it means the rivalry which has found its outcome in quarrellings and wrangling. No doubt he heard Peter use it there in Acts 15 , and he said, "Stand fast in the liberty wherein Christ has set you free.". He had before been exhorting these Christians by love to serve one another (Galatians 5:13; Galatians 5:13), and had put them in mind of what would be the consequence if, instead of that, they did bite and devour one another,Galatians 5:15; Galatians 5:15. These works of the flesh, of course, are related to our body drives, so many of them. But meanwhile, under the gospel, there is an express promise of the blessing of the Gentiles when God spoke of the one seed, which is Christ. Then I must repeat that God could only make claims; and man had to take the place, if he could, of giving to God of rendering his obedience. And here we may observe that as sin is called the work of the flesh, because the flesh, or corrupt nature, is the principle that moves and excites men to it, so grace is said to be the fruit of the Spirit, because it wholly proceeds from the Spirit, as the fruit does from the root: and whereas before the apostle had chiefly specified those works of the flesh which were not only hurtful to men themselves but tended to make them so to one another, so here he chiefly takes notice of those fruits of the Spirit which had a tendency to make Christians agreeable one to another, as well as easy to themselves; and this was very suitable to the caution or exhortation he had before given (Galatians 5:13; Galatians 5:13), that they should not use their liberty as an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Both sides of the dispute are guilty. To have been with the Messiah, the hearer of His words and the witness of His work, up to His departure, was ever a condition to those who were accustomed to the twelve apostles. Had Paul gone up to present his credentials to the others, he would have lowered, obscured, and done as far as in him lay to destroy the special blessedness and peculiar glory of his apostleship. Why then did he want he Gentiles to live as did the Jews? I said, "That's a lie." The inferior trinity is spirit, soul and body of man. If any of them believe in the Crucified, they were God's Israel. What Satan aims at is, that people should not count themselves what they are, and that they should be always slipping into what they are not. To make this evident by transgressions was the object of the law. To put a stop to coveting is to "head other sins off at the pass.". "Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one." Gentleness; praotes ( G4236) is the most untranslatable of words. GALATIANS 5:2-12. The law is of a wholly different nature, and hence was ordained of angels in the hand of a mediator. But then he goes farther. Their lives should demonstrate the truth that their sinful nature has been crucified with Christ and has no further power over them. For ye have heard of my conversation in times past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: and profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. There are two things in the Christian; he has a life, a new life in Christ, but he has also, the Holy Ghost. The organic life of the body will be destroyed by its own members. Mark, again, the strength of the expression. What Paul is saying is, "This legalistic movement may not have gone very far yet, but you must root it out before it destroys your whole religion.". My very nature is dealt with. I don't think you need anything more than the Bible to really know the truth of God. No wonder that the apostle attached the greatest moment to the facts of his conversion and call, and that, instead of hiding his lack of familiarity both with the apostles and with the churches in Judea, he glories in it. But because they are not born of the Spirit and have no understanding of the spiritual dimension of life, you're talking riddles to them. It would be first adding to it, and not only so, but annulling it. The apostle Paul interferes in no way with the work which God had given the others to do. But he was not thus disobedient to the heavenly vision. This is what is found under it. Love finds its activity in caring for those that are cast down, "and so fulfils the law of Christ." So much the more, then, we find the working of spiritual feeling as expressed by him in the second epistle, where he speaks of God lifting up those that were cast down, as He had delivered himself from the imminent danger to which he had been exposed even as to life.
