Is the Gospel of Grace something that the human mind could have ever dreamed up? Does it resemble at all the religions of the world? That among other questions will be looked at as James Flanders continues his study through Paul's letter to the Galatians.
11 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,12 for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ, 13 for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it, 14 and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers' deliverances, 15 and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through His grace -- 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus, 18 then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days, 19 and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord. 20 And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie not; 21 then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia, 22 and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ, 23 and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;' 24 and they were glorifying God in me. (Galatians 1:11-24 Young's Literal Translation)
Imagine the Saul's shock when he came to understand how wrong he had been. Imagine how his mind must have been blown to realize he had been missing the point for all that time.
