Summary

In this episode, Jennie takes us through Galatians 2, focusing on the situation where Titus, a Greek, wasn't compelled to undergo circumcision despite being with Paul. Jennie shows us how this chapter teaches us as Christians grace is by faith, not our ability to adhere to rituals and laws. There is freedom in Christ, and we must see the importance of extending grace to others based on their individual convictions rather than imposing uniform standards.

0:00.0	This is Jenny Allen, and you are listening to The Made for This Podcast.
0:10.0	There are so many ways that we have divided and judged and separated over issues that pretty

0:46.0	Relations 2, verse 3, but even Titus who was with me was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.
1:04.0	Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus
1:11.0	so that they might bring us into slavery.

1:46.0	Now in Jewish culture, we know that that was part of the law given to Moses that they would be circumcised as a part of their display of submission to God.
1:59.0	So that was part of their story, part of their history.
2:03.0	And so now it's feeling confused because the rules are changing. Paul's taking the gospel to the Gentiles.
