09.24.2014 New Testament: Gal 2.6

To read the Bible in a year, read Galatians 2 on September 24, In the year of our Lord 2014

By Don Ruhl

To accept the apostleship of Paul is to accept the authority of Jesus Christ, because He made Paul an apostle. Therefore, to reject the apostleship of Paul is to reject the authority of Jesus Christ. I do not recommend that you reject the authority of the Son of God!

Man considers one apostle above another, such as the primacy of Peter, but speaking of Peter, James, and John, Paul by the Holy Spirit said,

But from those who seemed to be something—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man—for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me (Galatians 2.6). 

Paul did not put down those men, but recognized that they had no more authority than he had, and it all comes from God anyway. God does not show personal favoritism, therefore, we should not show it.
