Revelation of God the Father

Galatians 1:1–5 (ESV)

1 Paul, an apostle not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead

One God in three persons: What does Galatians 1:1-5 reveal about who God is (Father)?

  • God is involved in this world. He sent Paul to be an apostle (Galatians 1:1).

  • God is powerful. He raised Jesus Christ from the dead (Galatians 1:1).

  • God is gracious, he not treat sinners as they deserve (Galatians 1:3).

  • God is sovereign. He makes plans and acts so that his will is accomplished (Galatians 1:4).

  • God is glorious and worthy of praise (Galatians 1:5).
