Revelation of God the Father

Galatians 1:11–24 (ESV)

11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel.

What does Galatians 1:11–24 reveal about who God the Father is?

  • God speaks. He revealed his gospel to Paul. He communicates truth to the people that he has made. He is not silent.

  • God is powerful. He intervenes so that a persecutor becomes a proclaimer of his truth.

  • God is sovereign. Before Paul was born, he was already elected to eternal life and chosen to serve God as an apostle.

  • God is gracious. He does not treat sinners (e.g., Paul) as they deserve.

  • God is witness. He knows the words we utter (Galatians 1:20).
