This evening, in the Word of God from Galatians 6:11-18, I would like share the Lord’s grace with you. As we have seen so far in the Word, as well as in this passage, we can once again see how the circumcisionists had thrown God’s Church into great spiritual confusion, and how the Apostle Paul suffered great travail at the hands of the circumcisionists that had come into these churches of Galatia. That’s why Paul was angry.
The Apostle Paul first pointed out the circumcisionist’s hidden motives. The reason they advocated physical circumcision was three-fold: First, to be approved by the Jews; second, to avoid being persecuted by their own people; and third, to boast of their faith. That’s why Paul said in Galatians 6:12-13, “As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.”
