-Holiness is a work that God does in us by His grace. 

Verse 1

  • “Apostle” = one sent forth 

  • In chapters 1 & 2, Paul will defend his apostleship

Q. Why? That was under attack

    • Chosen by Jesus Christ (Luke 6:12-16, Acts 9)

  • Apostles:

    • A limited order

    • Called and sent forth… given commissions  by Christ personally

    • They spoke for Him and acted on His behalf


Verse 2

  1. Paul’s words were consistent with the teaching at the church in Antioch

  2. Paul calls them brethren not apostles

    1. Barnabas (Acts 14:14)-Barnabas is called a =n apostle in this passage…a small “a” apostle. 


Verse 3… Paul’s hope for his readers?

  1. Grace = unmerited favor

    1. source of salvation

  1. Christ gave Himself for our sins (1 Peter 3:18)

  2. To deliver us from the present evil age (Col. 1:13)

    1. Deliver = to pluck out or tear out (a violent “do whatever it takes” word)

  3. Q. Why? Because God: wanted to

  4. God’s purpose in rescue? It brings Him glory
