CONCLUSION OF GALATIANS
Sunday
Morning: December 28, 2003
Text:
Galatians 6:11-18 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own
hand. 12. As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they
constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for
the cross of Christ. 13. For neither they themselves who are circumcised
keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your
flesh. 14. But 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. 15. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16. And as many as walk
according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel
of God. 17. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body
the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18. Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

6:11 Ye see how large a letter I have written
unto you with mine own hand.
Acts
20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing
shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing
the flock. 30. Also of your own selves shall
men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples
after them.
2

troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as

mine own hand.
Galatians
6:12-13 As many as desire to make a fair show in the
flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should

themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

and the law).

Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to
them that perish [present middle] foolishness; but unto us which
are saved [present passive] it is the power of God.
Ephesians
2:14-17 For he is our peace, who hath made both
one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the
law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of
twain one new man, so making peace; 16. And
that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby: 17. And came and preached peace to you
which were afar off (called Gentiles), and to them (called
Jews) that were nigh.
Acts
2:39 For the promise (life in
the kingdom age) is unto you (Israel, nigh), and to your
children, and to all that are afar off (Gentiles), even as
many as the Lord our God shall call (unto His kingdom and glory).
1
John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised
us, even eternal life.
Ephesians
3:4-6 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my
knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5. Which in other ages was not made
known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and
prophets by the Spirit; 6. That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and
of the same body, and partakers of his [the] promise in Christ by
the gospel:

availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

in righteousness and true holiness.

2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with
the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the
sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

rule [line (standard, boundary)], peace be on them,
and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of
God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of
the cross ceased.

our Lord Jesus Christ be with your (Abba) spirit.

of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from
grace.
Ephesians
2:8 For by grace are ye [endure,
Mark 4:17] saved [having been saved] through faith (you
obtain grace, Romans 5:2); and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God:

4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure
[are ye in Eph. 2:8] but for a time: afterward, when affliction
or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
Romans
5:2 By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice
in hope of the glory of God.
