And they praised God because of me.

 Galatians 1:1-24

Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all.

If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. This is an easy way to identify which one is the real gospel.

But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.

Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days. I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord’s brother. I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.

 And they praised God because of me.

Why?

Paul is not sent by anyone, but by Jesus Christ and God, to be an apostle.

Since the first century, there have been different gospel, which is not gospel at all.

 And they praised God because of me. This is a great honor for Paul. Who devoted his life to preachingthe  gospel.

How?

I should learn from Paul to preach and witness the work of the Lord and give honot to the Lord.
