Persuading Men, Pleasing God

Living by Faith - Lesson 4 - Persuading Men, Pleasing God - Galatians 1:9-10. Paul reminds the Galatian believers that he had warned them before about those who would come to them preaching another gospel, not the gospel of grace. Those false teachers were to be to them, "Anathema", accursed, because what they were preaching was not the gospel and could not save. The gospel of grace he had preached and they had received had not changed, and Paul makes it clear that his preaching was not merely to please men, but to persuade them of the truth, which is pleasing to God.
