Galatians 2 · Grade 4

Justified by Faith

Name Date

Read and Think

Fourteen years later, Paul went to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus. He met privately with the leaders to explain the Good News he preached to the Gentiles. Titus, a Greek believer, was not forced to follow the Jewish law. Some false believers had slipped in to take away the freedom believers have in Christ, but Paul did not give in.

The leaders added nothing to Paul's message. James, Peter, and John saw that God had given Paul a mission to the Gentiles, just as Peter had a mission to the Jews. They gave Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship. They asked only that the poor be remembered, which Paul was eager to do.

In Antioch, Peter ate with Gentile believers until some men came from James. Then, afraid, he drew back, and even Barnabas followed. Paul confronted Peter in front of everyone. A person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul describes the new life this brings. He has been crucified with Christ, and now Christ lives in him. He lives by faith in the Son of God, who loved him and gave Himself for him.

Think About It

  1. Peter changed how he acted because he was afraid of what others thought. When are you tempted to treat people differently to fit in?

  2. Paul says Christ lives in him. What difference does it make in everyday life to believe that Christ lives in you?

Memory Verse

“I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.”
