How do we feel when someone questions the Gospel? Paul was undeterred in his confidence in the Gospel of justification by faith alone in Christ when it was challenged by the so-called Jews, who taught that faith in Christ should come with the works of the law. This confidence of Paul came from his knowledge that he got it not from men, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ (vv. 11-120, which is the only satisfactory explanation of how he turned from an enemy to a preacher of the Gospel (vv. 13-16), and where he got his deep knowledge of the Gospel despite having no man who taught him of it (vv. 16-24). Therefore, if we are certain of what the scripture teaches about the Gospel and how it radically transformed our lives, we should be unshaken in our confidence in the Gospel though many will challenge it.

How should Christians respond to so-called brothers who are in danger of turning away from the faith? Because Paul knew that he preached the true Gospel to the Galatians (Galatians 1:10), he did not sit it out in apathy when he heard that the Churches in Galatia were beginning to embrace a gospel contrary to what he preached to them. He expressed his disappointment to the Galatians (vv. 6-7) and pronounced curse on anyone who would preach anything contrary to the Gospel (vv. 7-9). For Paul, our understanding of the true Gospel should dictate our response to any deserting or distortion of it.

Every attack made against the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ should never be taken lightly. Being an apostle, and the one who planted the Churches in Galatia, Paul sought to establish his apostleship right off the bat (Galatians 1:1-2:14), that the Galatians might acknowledge his authority and hold on to the Gospel that he taught them. Even in his greetings (Galatians 1:1-5), he claimed that his authority is from the Father and made clear that the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient to atone for our sins for the purpose of delivering us from the ‘law-ish’ works of the flesh. We, then, should not just accept any teaching but acknowledge the authority of God on matters of the Gospel by turning to His Word.

After encouraging the Philippian believers to maintain their unity in the church through humility, Paul presented to them the obedient life and sacrificial death of Christ as both the One who unites the covenant community and the Supreme Example of humility. He urges the believers to set their minds on the humiliation and exaltation of Christ in order for them to pursue humility. Therefore, the way to true humility is by setting our minds on Christ and by following His example.

Continuing on from our last topic (which placed focus on our being made by Him to be His forgiven people) with our three-part sermon series on Matthew 6:11-13 entitled "How Can We Live For God", the emphasis now, finally, is on living for God through His daily protection. In Matthew 6:13, it reads: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Indeed, if we are to live for Him in Christ, we must rely fully on His spiritual protection as Chrstians living challenging lives in a fallen world, and be dependent on Him alone. To live for God is only ever possible through God, and through His spiritual protection in Christ are we delivered daily, and beyond, from the enemy's snare.
