Comments on the book of Galatians

< Galatians 6 >

Verses 1-3

Waiting for response for Galatians 6:1-3

The apostle exhorted the disciples to help each other, not to exalt themselves, and to test their own work.

Verses 7-8

Waiting for response for Galatians 6:7-8

An important principle of God is that we shall be judged according to our own deeds: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”. The natural way to live our lives is to satisfy the desires of our flesh, but the wise way is to satisfy God. There are two contrasting destinies: “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting”.

Verses 9-10,16

Waiting for response for Galatians 6:9-10,16

The apostle therefore urges all of us to do the deeds God wishes us to do. They who do this are “the Israel of God”. It is Israel that will be saved and therefore it is imperative to become part of Israel, not by keeping the law of Moses, but by believing the gospel, being baptized into Christ, and obeying the commandments. We shall be members of the Israel of God and obtain salvation.
