I think that Galatians Chapter 1, is clear on callings. Paul preached the gospl effectively after his damascus experience. Verse 1- Paul had been with God and came back wth a word in his mouth from God. Who can dispute this , No one I say because no only was h confident in his message he as sure. Now days people don't spend enough time with God to get God's message for today;they just repeat what others have said.Paul, on the other hand ,gave resh revelation about God's character as if they had a real friend relationship. Paul expresses his knowing him that sent him,through his greetig as I paraphrase "God told me to tell you grace to you , peace to you from God the father and our lord Jesus". Paul had such and encounter with God and thier was a drastic change; He went into Damascus a persecuter and swindler, and came out an Apostle.

These days I am studying about Paul who according to verse 17 went to Arabia (Mount Sinai) to be taught or to have the revelation of Jesus Christ. Thanks

@ R. D. Mattock's comments on Galatians:
Please read Romans chapter 7. How do you reconcile Galatians and Romans? They were both written by Apostle Paul. It looks like the churches that threw away the Ten Commandments choose to ignore the book of Romans. Maybe that’s what they mean by “rightly dividing the word”: You keep half, and throw away the other half...

R. D. Mattock's Galatians Chapter 1 comment on 3/23/2013, 8:33pm...

We are to Study to shew ourselves approved unto God, as a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. If you want God’s approval then study. Too many Christians never bring their Bibles to church or ever read their Bibles and they are easy pray to every wind of doctrine that comes. They believe every word from the person in the pulpit must be true but they never read it themselves. I have encourage people to read the Bible because some people left their churches because some of their teachings were not in the Bible. There are many in false churches today. They preach another gospel. They are leading many in the road to hell.

The world is the kingdom of Satan, the evil world. That’s the reason God sent Jesus Christ to deliver the sinners through His blood from this evil place to the Holy Kingdom of God which is heaven the. In Matthew 4:8, 9, Satan offers his Kingdom to Jesus Christ if Jesus will worship him. But, no way.

There are mysteries and mysteries. There are revelations and revelations. As a matter of fact, there are insights and insights, and in all these, when God, in His mannerisms and commitments, is upon a vessel that is committed towards Him, which is coworker with God, such individual can't but minister the way the Apostle Paul did through his letters. What really got my attention is somehow, in different categories; his salutation has great intimacy with God through Jesus Christ. And recognizing who he was prior to the encounter that he had with the LORD, and then looking at the things that had been deposited on him to dispense and administer to the Gentiles through the Holy Spirit, he wrote with such audacity and seriousness. Simply look at the beginning of this letter to the Galatian Church. It says: “Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father…”. A simple look at that, reflects where he got is apostleship from. You see, he was prior to the encounter that he had, a great persecutor of the church, and he somehow finds it difficult to believe that he didn't have it in all those years while he persecuted the Church. And because of that great and mysterious encounter, and the fact that he did not consult with flesh and blood, but did separate himself unto God, in so as to search, learn, investigate and really study the things of God through Jesus Christ. He cannot but write with such in-depth and bountifulness about the knowledge of God and of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World. In that process, God in His mercy and lovingkindness, revealed the person of Jesus Christ unto him. It also demonstrates that, whenever the Gospel is correctly dispensed and administered through the person of the Holy Spirit, in truthfulness, and rightly, grace and peace from God the Father and from the resurrected Saviour must of a necessity accompany it. Hence, He wrote with great assurance, so as to be able to deal with all the vices, and wrong doctrines that had been taught to them. That's why he said it without mincing words. “Now the things which I wrote unto you, before God, I lie not”, verse 20. That is worthy of note, and that is because, in the things of the Holy Spirit, particularly when you have heard from the LORD, and that is as led through the Holy Spirit, you don't need to consult with flesh and blood, but simply honour God and follow the guidance and directions of the Holy Spirit. Well, in addition, it should be mentioned that Paul's appointment, was a bit different to others before him; and that is very clear when you look at the type of encounter that he had with Jesus Christ. The truth is, God has called individual Christians differently, and what matters most is that we respond to Him accordingly and as led, and also that no matter what, we should simply stick to whatever area of ministry He has for us. The fact is, when a person becomes born again, he is delivered and saved, as it were, in to a calling. And while there are such that have been able to precisely identify theirs and have plunged into it, there are those who are yet able to identify it. Interestingly, all Christians, have, one calling or the other, therefore, when you find it, honestly you won't be jealous about any other. And that is because, in so far as you are in it and you abide strictly with it. He that calleth thee will guide, lead and also instruct you. And with that, there is inbuilt protection, because there is a covenant in place. When you do your part of it, God has no choice, but to honour His part; for He alone is forever trustworthy and eternally dependable.

If you want to understand what Paul is saying in this letter, you can’t read just one chapter and expect to fairly evaluate the whole Book. Please read all six chapters; they make up the whole letter, intended to be read by the congregation in Galatia. By doing that, you will find the following:
1. In the first chapter, Paul is presenting his credentials, and describes what the problem was, without “spelling it out”;
2. Beginning with the second chapter we learn exactly what the problem was: the teaching by “some”; including Apostle Peter (Galatians 2:11), that in order to be saved you need to be circumcised, plus other “works of the flesh” described in Galatians 5:19-21;
3. Throughout his letter Paul mentions “circumcision” many times: Galatians 2:3, 7-9, 11; 3:3; 5:2, 3, 6, 11; 6:12, 13, 15;
4. In order to combat this false teaching, he expounds on the fact that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, not by keeping of the Ceremonial Law, which was fulfilled in Him.
By reading only parts of Galatians, many Christians reach the wrong conclusion that Paul is against keeping the Ten Commandments. That cannot be further from the truth. Here is what Paul declares: “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law … Wherefore, the law is holy and the commandment holy, and just, and good…” Romans 7:7, 12.
