Galatians 1: 1-10 Corps - 1983 - Part 2
Galatians 1:1-10 17 The author of Galatians is God. Paul is the writer. Paul named the Galatians himself. Galatians 6:11 - He wrote the Epistle himself which was not typical of Paul (Rom. 16:22). He would have a secretary, he would dictate it. Paul would usually write the salutation at the end (II Thess. 3:17). Epistle in Galatians corrects doctrinal error. The doctrinal epistle is Romans. Although Romans was not yet written at the time Galatians was, Paul had still taught that information when he traveled there. John 16:13 - Galatians is one of the seven church epistles that reveal the “all truth”. Pau1 made three itineraries to the Roman province of Galatia. His third itinerary is recorded in Acts 18 beginning in verse 23 and goes to 21:15. He begins in Antioch of Syria and travels throughout Galatia; he strengthened the apostles there and then went to Ephesus. He was there for two years and three months (55-57 AD). During that time he wrote Galatians and I Corinthians in 57 AD. Then he went to Macedonia in the later part of 57 AD, he wrote II Corinthians. Then he went to Corinth and in the winter of 58 AD he wrote Romans. Galatians demonstrates how the Word can be hot in one area and cold in another. Paul’s first itinerary was in Antioch of Pisidian Galatia - Acts 13:49. On the second itinerary, Timothy was traveling with him to the Province of Asia - Acts 16:6. The holy spirit had said not to go to Asia. His third itinerary (Acts 18:23) the spiritual situation had reversed and he passes through Galatia, gets to Ephesus (Acts 19:10) and all of Asia heard the word in two years and three months. He had to write to Galatia because they were screwed up (Gal. 1:6, 3:1, 4:11). Practical error usually manifests itself in the abuse of freedom - three key sections in Corinthians show abuse of liberty and freedom. Doctrinal error takes from the realm of the abuse of freedom into legalism - putting people back under the law as apposed to grace. The abuse of freedom is where
