Galatians 1:7

SOME THAT DISTURB

Galatians 1:7. “Which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ.”

SOME THAT DISTURB.

They came to disturb and bring back into bonds, slaves that had been freed.

Didn’t they know the Lord Himself said, “Let not your heart be troubled?”

Didn’t they know true faith helps us rise above the storms of life?

Didn’t they know that if our eyes are on Christ alone, we will not be disturbed?

They were trying to pervert the Gospel of Christ, but as yet had not succeeded.

They came to “shake their allegiance” in the Gospel of the grace of God.

Didn’t they know it is a serious thing to disturb the sheep of God?

Didn’t they know the sheep are to be feeding on the green pastures of God’s word?

Didn’t they know the law disturbs the flock but it does not feed them?

Those who disturb God’s sheep will have to bear God’s judgment.

They came to change to the opposite, the truly good news sent by God.

Didn’t they know it is perverting the Gospel if we must keep the law?

Didn’t they know if the law is “a rule of life” it is not good news?

Didn’t they know no one can keep the law, and will perish trying?

They were perverting the Good News, by adding to it the law.

“Righteous Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I am interceding on behalf of the Lord’s people who are in danger of being put upon by the agents of the enemy. Preserve them, Father, from those who disturb Thy people and try to pervert the Gospel of Thy grace, Amen.”
