Galatians 1:11-2:21
Setting the scene…
The issues that had arisen to the writing of this epistle were, firstly, a false gospel taught (which we explored in the previous study), and secondly, that Paul was not a true apostle of the gospel. After his introduction that dealt with this false gospel, Paul continued to affirm that he was a true apostle, commissioned and sent by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is important for us to understand, from the perspective of the early church, that an apostle was not just a disciple of Jesus Christ but someone who had also witnessed the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.
