Chapter One

For each chapter of Galatians, we will consider the following questions:

What do we learn about Paul?

What do we learn about the Galatians?

What do we learn from key words?

What do we learn about Jesus?



We encourage you to study the book of Galatians along with us, with this approach.  The following is the list we composed about the apostle Paul, from Galatians Chapter 1.



What do we learn about Paul?


An apostle (not through the agency of man)


He is amazed that the Galatians are deserting the true gospel for a different gospel (a distortion)


He is a teacher


He is a compassionate disciplinarian


He does not strive to please men


He is a bond-servant of Christ


The gospel that he preaches is not according to man - He received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ


He used to persecute the church - tried to destroy it


Was extremely zealous for his ancestral traditions - was advancing in Judaism beyond many others


He was called by God from his mother’s womb and was set apart by His grace to reveal His Son


God called him to preach among the Gentiles


After his conversion, he did not immediately consult with other people, not even the apostles - for 3 yrs.


He first met and stayed with Peter for 15 days


He traveled a lot


People heard about his conversions before meeting him, and glorified God for it
