Telling the Truth
Comments on Galatians with an ear to Luther’s commentary
Scripture Text: Galatians 1:18-20 and Ephesians 4:11-16
Series: Comments on Galatians
It surely did not matter to the false apostles whether Paul was telling the truth or even claimed to be telling the truth about being an apostle. We may easily imagine them laughing at his claim. Perhaps it did not even matter to the Galatians that Paul claimed to be telling the truth. Some believed him and many, no doubt, did not. It was simply important to Paul himself that he made the oath.
Are you telling the truth? Are you living the truth? The ability to make such an oath is a good checkup on your spiritual and moral health. Are you able to say all this day, all this life, that you are telling the truth? If you are so able then what others think makes no difference.
