Galatians 2:1–14

The second chapter of Galatians is like our Emancipation Proclamation. Through the examples of Barnabas and Titus, we see that Jew and gentile alike were free to worship Christ. Barnabas, as a religious man, was tempted to slide back into law and works. While Titus on the other hand, as a gentile, was being tempted to add religious performance to his faith. The freeing grace of Jesus Christ alone is a enough. Let us not try to add our own righteousness to it; and let us contend and defend the gospel.
