The Boast of the Flesh
Series Bible Studies in Galatians
Paul is stating here that the false teachers who promote an outward ceremonial religion as the essence of what it means to be a Christian, will try to impress other people with their own supposed wisdom through their preaching the false doctrine of a works-righteousness. And they will try to compel other people to believe in their false conclusions. Paul says in verse 12: “As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.” So, this evening I would like to make 4 observations on what characterizes false teachers. 1st – False teachers desire to make a good showing in the flesh. 2nd – False teachers would compel you observe outward ordinances and ceremonies in order to avoid persecution. 3rd – False teachers do not really keep the law in a way that pleases God. 4th – False Teachers would boast in your flesh
