  SPEAKER_00: Galatians 2 The other apostles accepted Paul After 14 years I went back to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with me.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: I went there because God showed me that I should go.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: I explained to them the message that I tell the non-Jewish people.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: I also met alone with those who were considered to be the leaders.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to be sure that we were in agreement so that my past work and the work I do now would not be wasted.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Titus, who is with me, is a Greek, but these leaders still did not force him to be circumcised.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: We needed to talk about these problems because some who pretended to be our brothers had come into our group secretly.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: They came in like spies to find out about the freedom we have in Christ Jesus.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: They wanted to make us slaves, but we did not agree with anything those false brothers wanted.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: We wanted the truth of the good news to continue for you.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Those men who were considered to be important did not change the good news message I tell people.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter to me if they were important or not.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: To God everyone is the same.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: But these leaders saw that God had given me a special work, the same as Peter.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: God gave Peter the work of telling the good news to the Jews, but God gave me the work of telling the good news to the non Jewish people.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: God gave Peter the power to work as an apostle for the Jewish people.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: God gave me the power to work as an apostle too, but for those who are not Jews.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: James, Peter, and John seemed to be the leaders, and they saw that God had given me this special gift of ministry, so they accepted Barnabas and me.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: They said to us, We agree that you should go to those who are not Jews, and we will go to the Jews.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: They asked us to do only one thing to remember to help those who are poor, and this was something that I really wanted to do.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Paul shows that Peter was wrong.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: When Peter came to Antioch, he did something that was not right.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: I stood against him because he was wrong.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: This is what happened.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: When Peter first came to Antioch, he ate and associated with the non-Jewish people, but when some Jewish men came from James, Peter separated himself from the non-Jews.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: He stopped eating with them because he was afraid of the Jews who believe that all non-Jewish people must be circumcised.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: So Peter was a hypocrite.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: The other Jewish believers joined with him, so they were hypocrites too.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Even Barnabas was influenced by what these Jewish believers did.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: They were not following the truth of the good news.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: When I saw this, I spoke to Peter in front of everyone.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Peter, you are a Jew, but you don't live like one.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: You live like someone who is not a Jew.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: So why are you trying to force those who are not Jewish to live like Jews?
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: We are Jews by birth.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: We were not born sinners, as we call those who are Jews.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: But we know that no one is made right with God by following the law.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: It is trusting in Jesus Christ that makes a person right with God.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: So we've put our faith in Christ Jesus because we wanted to be made right with God.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: And we are right with him because we trusted in Christ, not because we followed the law.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: I can say this because no one can be made right with God by following the law.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: We Jews came to Christ to be made right with God, so it is clear that we were sinners too.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Does this mean that Christ makes us sinners?
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: Of course not, but I would be wrong to begin teaching again those things I gave up.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: It was the law itself that caused me to end my life under the law.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: I died to the law so that I could live for God.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: I've been nailed to the cross with Christ, so I'm not the one living now.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: It is Christ living in me.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: He is the one who loved me and gave himself to save me.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: I am not the one destroying the meaning of God's grace.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: If following the law is how people are made right with God, then Christ did not have to die.
