Start your day by writing down one chapter of the Bible and meditating on it (QT) .
[How can we distinguish between the true gospel and the false gospel?]
Please take a moment to meditate and pray on today's message for wisdom.
[Galatians 1:1-24]
Galatians
This is a letter that refutes the false teachers of legalism who were deceiving the Galatian church and clearly argues that salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul resolutely rejects the idea that works must be added to faith, and emphasizes that sinful man can be justified and brought into true freedom and holy new life only through faith .
There is no other gospel
Galatians 1 QT
(Text and illustrations by Geonjubu, Image source: Canva)
1. Paul, an apostle, not of men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
2. All the brothers who are with me are writing to the churches in Galatia.
3. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4. Jesus Christ gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of God and our Father.
5. To God be glory forever and ever. Amen.
7. I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him who called you through the grace of Christ to a different gospel.
7. In fact, there is no other gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
8. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be under God’s curse.
9. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel other than the one you received, let him be accursed .
10. Am I now trying to please people or God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
The gospel is what we receive through Jesus
Galatians 1 QT
(Text and illustrations by Geonjubu, Image source: Canva)
11. I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached to you is not according to man .
12. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation from Jesus Christ .
13. For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God exceedingly and tried to destroy it.
14. I was ahead of many of my contemporaries in the practice of Judaism, being very zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15. But God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me by his grace,
16. God revealed the Son of God in me, so that I might preach him to the Gentiles . At that time I did not consult with men,
17. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me, but went straight to Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
18. After three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19. And I saw none of the apostles except James the Lord's brother.
20. I assure you before God that I am not lying in what I am writing to you.
21. After this I went to the region of Syria and Cilicia.
22. So my face was unknown to the churches of Judea, who were in Christ.
23. But they heard that "the man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he formerly tried to destroy."
24. They gave glory to God through me .
QT: The Mission of the Evangelist
Galatians 1 QT
(Text and illustrations by Geonjubu, Image source: Canva)
◆ Meditation of the Consciousness of the Body
I have been thinking deeply about the mission of the evangelist.
The reason Apostle Paul changed from a persecutor of Jesus Christ to a preacher of the gospel of Jesus was because he met Jesus in person and was deeply moved by Him.
The gospel is literally good news.
These days, we live in a world filled with light words, texts, and images that simply stimulate our peripheral nerves.
And such words, writings, and images are full of all kinds of flashy things to please people's eyes, ears, and bodies.
But the gospel of God should not be directed toward people. It should be directed toward pleasing God.
" 10. If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
And he is saying that the gospel that Paul preaches did not come from man (including Peter, another apostle of that time) but only through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
"12. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation from Jesus Christ ."
In today's generation, there are many writings, words, and videos that deceive us with distorted words disguised as the gospel.
If we look closely at these things, we see that there is no God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit in them, but rather a person trying to deceive us .
Paul speaks strongly to them.
"9. If anyone is preaching to you a gospel other than the one you received, let him be accursed."
We who preach the gospel must know that the gospel comes only from Jesus Christ, and we must boldly preach it with the mission of not pleasing people but pleasing God.
And we must boldly stand up to these deceivers like Paul did.
◆ Enlightenment given by the Holy Spirit
Paul firmly declares that there is no other gospel , and emphasizes that only the true gospel received through the revelation of Jesus Christ is the way to salvation.
As I meditate on these words, I am reminded of how many people today are distorting the gospel or moving in the direction of seeking human pleasure.
“ If I were trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ .” (Galatians 1:10)
When we deeply engrave these words on our hearts, we realize that we must escape the temptation to look to people’s opinions or to conform to the world’s standards when sharing the gospel.
The true gospel is the uncompromising truth and gives glory only to God .
Just as Paul was transformed after meeting Jesus in person, I, too, meditate on these words and am inspired and challenged by the Holy Spirit .
- The gospel is not a revelation from man, but from God .
- Justification can only be achieved through faith in Jesus Christ.
- When we preach the gospel, we must have an attitude that pleases God, not the world's standards.
I hope that today will be a day in which we can boldly spread this precious gospel that God has given us.
I am grateful for the opportunity to meditate with you, and I pray that God’s grace and peace be with you!
Intercessory prayer for the construction workers
Galatians 1 QT

Thank you to our neighbors who have taken the time to visit us.
Please pray for the construction workers for a moment. Your prayers will be a great help.
And after the intercessory prayer for the housewife, please put your name, business, or workplace and pray again.
God the Father, full of love and grace,
I pray for Father Gunju, who is moving forward holding on to the mission entrusted to him by the Lord to spread the holy gospel.
Lord, let us put down our desire to please people and become instruments of the gospel that please only You. Let us live a life of obedience according to the revelation of Jesus Christ , not according to the standards and temptations of the world , and let the Holy Spirit personally pour out wisdom and power so that we can boldly preach the gospel.
Through the blog and SNS ministry of the pastor, may many souls hear the true gospel and return to the Lord, and may all writings and videos become tools that glorify God . Also, may you grant us
spiritual wisdom and discernmentto discern the temptations that seek to distort the gospel,
so that we may become channels that testify only to Jesus.Lord, please bless the life of the pastor and use him completely as a good tool of God. Please give him strength and courage to carry out the mission that the Lord has entrusted to him until the end, and let him experience the Lord more deeply through prayer and the Word.
I pray all these prayers fervently in Jesus' name. Amen.
I will continue to pray for you, Father Gun.
I believe that the Lord is with you and gives you strength and power! 🙏
