  • Galatians 3:1-12
  • Galatians 3:2- There are four main ideas about what “receive the Spirit” means here:
    1. Personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit (conflicts with other passages)
    2. Miracles (conflicts with other passages)
    3. Spiritual mindedness (possible)
    4. The gospel (most likely, fits the context best)
  • Galatians 3:3. Justification is not by keeping the law. It is through faith and obedience.

  • Jude 1:9-19
  • Jude 1:10- These false teachers did not have proper respect for the gospel. They believed they had the answers!
  • Jude 1:12- The false teachers were acting like they were not a threat when they were eating with them, but they were a great threat hidden just below the surface.
  • Jude 1:14- There are several places like this in the Bible where the inspired writer reveals additional details that are not in the scriptures elsewhere. This does not mean the writer was wrong. It just means the writer was inspired with additional information.
