“The Certified Gospel of Christ”
Galatians 1:6-12
Key Verse: Galatians 1:11-12 “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” KJV, ESV, NASV “I would have you know.. ”NIV “I want you to know.. ”NKJV “I make known to you..”
I certify
γνωρίζω (gnōrizō) Certify.—The word which is thus translated is the same as that which is translated “declare” in 1Corinthians 15:1; “give you to understand,” in 1Corinthians 12:3; and “do you to wit,” in 2Corinthians 8:1. It is used to introduce a statement made with emphasis and solemnity.
Discuss the following: Certified vs Counterfeit; Authentic vs Fake; Genuine vs Corrupt; True vs Perverted
Lesson Objectives.
1: The best way to detect counterfeits that come in infinitely many forms is by knowing what the certified, true, and authentic looks like really well.
2: Someone has to pay the cost for accepting a counterfeit.
3: Unfortunately, the peddlers of counterfeits and those that accept counterfeits share the same responsibility and can suffer the same fate.
Sadly, the Galatian’s problem of being misled or “bewitched” is still evident today.
Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
