True Freedom--Galatians 2:1-14

Lesson 4

Read through these verses at least twice before starting the lesson.

brought to Antioch?

c. What was the motivation of the false brethren?

d. What was the response of the apostles/elders
at Jerusalem?

2. Effectually (energeo)--to be actively at work, to effect
Read I Corinthians 12:1-7 and Galatians 2;6-10.

a. What was significant about Paul going to Jerusalem to
have "his gospel" checked out?

b. What was realized about Paul's ministry by those
in Jerusalem?

c. How do we see the work of God through the Holy Spirit
in Galatians 2:8-9?

d. How do we see I Corinthians 12:1-7 worked out in this section

Deuteronomy 10:17, James 1:1-4, 8-9, Acts 11;1-3.

What in these scriptures is a lesson for us today?
