n this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson and Dr. Sam Horn walk through Galatians 2:1–10 and examine Paul's defense of the true gospel. Paul travels to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus, not to receive authorization from the apostles, but to demonstrate that the gospel he received from Christ and preached to the Gentiles was the same gospel proclaimed by the apostles in Jerusalem. At the center of the discussion is Titus, an uncircumcised Gentile believer who becomes a test case for the gospel of grace. Paul refuses to yield to the Judaizers—even for a moment—because adding circumcision or obedience to the Mosaic Law as a requirement for salvation would undermine the freedom and purity of the gospel. The conversation explores Paul's independence as an apostle, the preservation of the gospel, the unity and fellowship of Jewish and Gentile believers, and the distinction between the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder from Galatians 2:10: genuine faith produces love and practical care for others. The gospel doesn't merely change what we believe—it changes how we live and how we love. Key themes: justification by faith, grace, the gospel, circumcision, Judaizers, Paul's apostleship, Christian unity, the Mosaic Law, and loving others. "Every word of God is pure. He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him." — Proverbs 30:5
