James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:20

A PRECIOUS INHERITANCE‘Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.’ Galatians 2:20 I. Whom He loved.—Mark the expression, ‘Who loved me.’ Not my sins. No; He looked upon all these with righteous and holy abhorrence. He hated all these things, but He loved me—He loved my soul. II. What proof did He give of this?—The Apostle answers, ‘He loved me, and gave Himself for me.’ Oh wondrous gift! He gave not His kingdom, not His crown, not His glory, not His boundless wealth! He gave up these indeed,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:1-21

Paul Declares His Credentials and States His Case (Galatians 1:11 - Galatians 2:21 ). Paul will now make clear to them what his credentials are. If they ask, why should they listen to him, he will now tell them. And he will then make clear exactly what his message is. Paul States His Credentials (Galatians 1:11 to Galatians 2:10 ). Paul now makes clear the grounds on which he considers that he has a right to be listened to. It is because: a) What he preaches is what he received by... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:17-21

Paul Now Deals With Objections To His Statement And Stresses That The Law’s Purpose Is To Point To Christ (Galatians 2:17-21 ). ‘But, if while we have sought to be justified in Christ, we also were found sinners, is Christ made one who serves sin? God forbid. For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.’ This question can be seen in two ways. Firstly as asking - ‘Surely seeking to be ‘put in the right’ through Christ means that we are must first of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:19-20

‘For I through the Law died to the Law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. Yet I live, and yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith which is in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.’ Paul points out that the Law crucified Christ. He died as a supposed lawbreaker. But the wonderful thing is that when He died Paul, and all those who are in Christ and believe in Him, died with Him. His crucifixion... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:11-21

Galatians 2:11-Ecclesiastes : . Excitement and consequent confusion rise higher still. In one sense, these verses record a climax; Paul is not merely Peter’ s equal— he had exposed him once when Peter was “ plainly in the wrong.” There is no ground for doubting that the order of time is followed. After the Jerusalem compact, Peter finds himself at Antioch (on a missionary tour? cf. 1 Corinthians 9:5). If Titus had been an outsider at Jerusalem, the tables are now turned, and Peter is the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 2:20

This Epistle is much of the same nature with that to the Romans, and the substance of what the apostle saith in the latter part of this chapter, agreeth much with Romans 6:1-23; where we find an expression much like to this, Galatians 2:6; Our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. I am (saith the apostle) crucified with Christ; not only by justification made partaker of the benefits coming by a Christ crucified, but also... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 2:11-21

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 2:11. When Peter was come to Antioch I withstood him to the face.—The strongest proof of the independence of his apostleship in relation to the other apostles, and an unanswerable argument against the Romish dogma of the supremacy of St. Peter.Galatians 2:13. The other Jews dissembled likewise with him.—The question was not whether Gentiles were admissible to the Christian covenant without becoming circumcised, ‘but whether the Gentile Christians were to... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:20

Galatians 2:20 I. We may see in the principles involved in the text the chief characteristic note of sanctity. What forms the spirit is the ready compliance of the soul with the influences of the indwelling presence of God. He moves the springs of life, gives them their bent, endues them with power, and directs them to their appointed end. Saintliness always exhibits a likeness to Christ. As the streams of water that gush upward are identified with the spring from which they issue, even so... read more

DISCOURSE: 2058THE CHRISTIAN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRISTGalatians 2:20. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.THE Gospel is, for the most part, plain and simple: yet are there some things in it which seem dark and contradictory. In one place St. Paul brings forward a long list of paradoxes, which to a superficial reader would appear... read more
