Galatians 211-21
Building Again the Things Which I Destroyed
Galatians 218

Introduction
  • Why Did the Holy Spirit Have Paul Record This
    Story?
  • Not to embarrass Peter!!
  • To validate Pauls apostolic authority
  • To Prevent Peters error from being used by the
    Judaizing teachers as support for their position.
  • To demonstrate that inspired men could sin.
  • To provide an example of LOVING and PUBLIC rebuke!

Introduction
  • Examining the Context
  • Peter had come to Antioch and worked among
    brethren there without showing any prejudice
    against Gentiles. (cf. Acts 1048 112)
  • However, sometime later, brethren from Jerusalem
    arrived and Peter gave in to pressure and
    withdrew himself from association with the
    Gentile brethren. (11,12)
  • By doing this, he influenced others to sin along
    with him. (13)

Introduction
  • Examining the Context

  • Taught and practiced a double standard--associated
    with Gentiles, but then went along with Jewish
    brethren when they arrived.
  • Thus, he undermined the very Gospel he preached.
    (15)

  • Inconsistency is a mark of immaturity. (Eph.
    412-15)
  • Inconsistency opens the door for ridicule from
    those who are enemies of the gospel. (Romans
    224)
  • We can (and at times do) allow our OLD ways to
    return thus, we need to always be on guard.
    (Rom. 1619-22 2 Pet. 220-22)
  • Actions speak louder than words.

    173) Instead of rebuking them for their error,
    he went along with them.

    but what he practiced. He was not living up to

    (carried away with a flood) by this hypocrisy.
