Galations 1:1-10

So this is the first time i have ever wondered into the blog world. I felt like God put this on my heart to do. There was no reason for choosing Galations except for the fact that it was what came up when i clicked on the bible on my phone.

Galatians 1

1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2and all the brothers with me,
To the churches in Galatia:

3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

No Other Gospel

6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.



1-5: First off I love how at the beginning of every book it says this same type of deal. It always says who wrote it, who it was to, and most importantly it gives all of the glory to God. It is so easy for us to get caught up on the speaker or even the pastor that reads it to us, that we forget why it is even there. No matter what God deserves all of the Glory. 

6-7: It is amazing how true this is. So often i put all of my energy into the things of this world, the stuff that doesn't even matter. We twist and skew the scriptures to say exactly what we want them to say. I once heard a speaker say that he has this motto, "big on the big, and small on the small." All I could think was thats it. That is it. What did he mean? He meant that we need to have a Big emphasis on the "Big" and a small on the small. We give to much energy attacking each other over stupid little stuff that doesn't matter and we end up missing what is most important.  

Mathew 22: 36-40
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Right here He tells us some of the Big. "Love your neighbor as yourself." How much would life suck if we never got to go to church, or never got to here about God. Knowing what we know now. if we truly followed what this says, knowing how important, good, and just outright amazing God is, would we ever pass up an opportunity to witness? But a lot of the time we are too busy arguing about stupid stuff that is not nearly as important as the BIG. In seven it talks about people throwing you into confusion. This is how dangerous it is when you let your friends influence you.  because if they don't know God, or aren't right with the lord then they may confuse you. especially with help from satan. 

8-9: Right here, Paul lets us know how serious this is. It is so serious that he repeats himself. It is just kind of scary to think about. 

10: This is one of those versus that is so true but know one likes to hear. I always am worrying about what people think of me and what i can do to look cooler. It is really kind of sad to think about. I always want to have the next best thing and if I'm not carefully i get blinded by this. Sometimes you have to suck it up and do what you don't want to do. You have to put yourself out there and yeah maybe look like a fool in front of everyone. but with that will come reward. You can bring courage to that one person that is to afraid to stand up for him self, or help  that person that cant figure out why he hurts all of the time to start to understand why things have been happening the way they have. You have a chance to allow God to change someone's life through you they way He changed your life so long ago

This is really my first time trying this and it is really late. Go ahead and tell me what you think or correct me if i have made a mistake.
