Galatians 2:15

THE DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION 8. ITS INSTRUMENT "Being justified freely by his grace" (Rom. 3:24); "being now justified by His blood" (Rom. 5:9); "being now justified by faith" (Rom. 5:1). A full exposition of the doctrine of justification requires that each of these propositions should be interpret... Read More

When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the cir... Read More

1 CORINTHIANS 13:13.--"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." THE second main point of difference between a true and a false Charity, we want to remark, is, that DIVINE CHARITY IS NOT ONLY CONSISTENT WITH, BUT VERY OFTEN NECESSITATES, REPROOF AND RE...

The concepts in the New Testament were not derived out of thin air. Amos 3:7 says, "Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets." What is mentioned in the New Testament is revealed in the Old Testament either clearly or in types and figures. Gen... Read More

There is a great contrast between the beginning and end of this chapter, between Paul caught up to the third heavens and the Christians at Corinth, between what a Christian should be and what he can be, what he can descend to. In verse 2 we have a great privilege, which it is useful to consider. Pau... Read More

I would just pick up a little point or two. And first how can we get rid of this power of self? The end of Galatians 2 will introduce what I mean. I do not take up now the question of righteousness by the law, but the question of the power of sin and self, which is sin really. Life is here made depe... Read More

The first verses of this chapter have a special character and that is, the testing and searching out what the true love of the brethren is, and then the apostle goes on to the great basis of Christian walk as set out in certain testimony which we shall presently see. As we are aware, in this epistle... Read More

This epistle is not one of doctrine. We get, of course, in this chapter, the foundation laid (v.9), but, as often remarked, it is an epistle that gives us the proper experience of the Christian, that is, the power of the Spirit of God working in him in his path; and consequently, we get the spirit a...
