  1. The Gospel for the Christian: The Life of Grace and Faith Galatians 1:6-7a I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another . . .

  2. Galatians 1:6-7 I am amazed (not at sin but at false teaching) that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another (because it cannot save)

  3. The first question:To whom would He teach knowledge? The second question:And to whom would He interpret the message? Both questions assume that the knowledge and the message already existed since eternity past The knowledge is the knowledge of God’s grace and the message is the message of man’s faith

  4. II Corinthians 9:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

  5. In Acts 4:4we find that the message is the message that calls men to believe: But many of those who had heard the message believed

  6. Matthew 11:1 And it came about that when Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

  7. Matthew 4:23And Jesus was going about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom . . . John 1: 11He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

  8. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name

  9. The NIV translates v 10: For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule ; a little here, a little there.

  10. Exodus 24:7 Then he [Moses] took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!

  11. Mark 7:9 and 13 He was also saying to them, You nicely set aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition . . . thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.

  12. Matthew 11:28-29 Jesus said: Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.

  13. Jeremiah 22:33 And they have turned their back to Me, and not their face; though I taught them, teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction.

  14. NIV on verse 13 So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there-- so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.

  15. Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. Compare to Romans 9:30-33
