Galatians 2:1-10 That the Truth Might Remain For You (October 19, 2025 AM, Dr. Michael Grasso)

"The gospel Paul preached was not from man—it was revealed directly by God. In Galatians 2, Paul recounts his visit to Jerusalem, showing that the message he proclaimed among the Gentiles was confirmed by the Apostles themselves.The central issue was circumcision. False teachers insisted that Gentiles must submit to the law of Moses in order to be saved. But Paul refused to yield for even an hour—so that the truth of the gospel might remain for the churches. Even Titus, a Greek believer, was not compelled to be circumcised. This was no small matter of preference—it was the very heart of the gospel at stake: salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.In this sermon, we’ll see:Why Paul went to Jerusalem “by revelation”How Titus became a living example of gospel freedomWhy Paul refused to compromise on circumcisionHow the Apostles gave him the right hand of fellowshipPaul defended the gospel at every turn—and we are called to do the same. When truth is at stake, compromise is not love. True love fights for the gospel so that it may remain for the people of God.#Galatians #DefenseOfTheGospel #FaithAlone #JustificationByFaith #FreedomInChrist #PaulTheApostle #ReformedTheology #GospelTruth #BiblicalPreaching #ChristianFaith"
