Discussion Questions
1. Read Galatians 1:11-21. Paul received direct revelation from Jesus Christ and was confident in the Gospel he preached. Today, we have special revelation from God in the Bible, the Gospel, and the person of Christ. How might we go about receiving this revelation into our hearts and minds? Share an example of how you might live more confidently in the revelation He delivered to you.
