believed that there "is neither Jew
nor Greek, bond nor 'free, male or

Jesus." (Gal. 3:28). And by the
words with which our lesson begins
we see how this real faith went out
actively in its affection for the breth-
ren. How wonderfully the mighty,
Word of God had "brought peace, and
made men one, breaking down the
middle wall of partition." Truly Jesus
Christ had "in His flesh abolished
the enmity --the law of'command-
nients' contained in ordinances" (Eph,
2:14, 15). Jew and Gentile, alike
delivered' in Jesus Christ from the
vanity of.trust in the righteousness
of their own sinful works,' find joy
and fellowship in the grace and faith
of the Gospel. What men are NOT
by nature, that JeW and Gentile had

A ind this; word Off "greeting" is
no mere formal, ;salutation! Quite
the contrary—it is the, greeting, to
be .confirmed by the testimony of
the messengers, of men concerned
for the very faith, the very' souls of
brethren threatened by the proclama-
tion of "another gospel: which is not
another, but the perversion of the
gospel of Christ" (Gal. 1:61--7). The
Apostles and elders and brethren at
Jerusalem knew the weakness of
human flesh and they knew' the in-
sidious power of the false doctrine
of justification by works. Peter, for
example, had learned with great dif-
ficulty, and by the grace of God
alone, that without the works of the
law of Gentiles, even by his `mouth,
might hear the word of the Gospel
and believe (Acts 15:7ff). He knew
therefore . that religious rites and
ceremonies were non -meritorious in
that work -of salvation wrought out,
finished and complete, in Jesus
Christ. He knew that "circumcision"
was of no avail whatever—nor any
other outward religious activity
whereby men become identified with
the Church of Jesus Christ.. Ile knew,
with Paul, that' "A man is not just-
ified by the works of the law, but
through faith in Jesus Christ" (Gal.
2:1G). Knowing, therefore; the "lib-
erty wherewith Christ had made
them free", and knowing the horrible
subtlety of the temptation of legal-
ists with their satanic appeal to the
natural pride of'man to trust in the
moral and religious deeds of his own
hands,, the Apostles at Jerusalem
spared no, pains to prevent the be-
lievers at Antioch, Syria and GlideGlidefrom being carried away, from the
true faith by certain "Judaizers"
who were demanding that they be
"circumcised, and keep the law".

an abuse of their `liberty."
For the plan of faith, before God,
all things are lawful (1 Cor. 6:12;
10:28), but before man, for the sake
of the brethren, all things are not
expedient. It is precisely the man of
faith who hears and rejoices in Paul's
mighty call, "Stand fast in the lib-
erty wherewith Christ hath made us
free, end be not entangled again with
the yoke of bondage", who willingly
submits also to such injunctions as
given in verse 29, fearing lest his
liberty be turned to licence detrim-
ental to the 'edification of the
brethren.
We have only to substitute for the.
word 'circumcision' some such word
as 'Clntrch-membership', and for the
word 'law' some such phrase as 'the
observance of religious ceremonies'
(the keeping of the sabbath, for ex-
ample), and to remember how tena-
ciously the Church of our time clings
to these outward forms and active
ities, to see how real the problem
of our lesson is in our very midst.
In answer to the question, What is
a Christian? the average church
member to -day will reply variously,
"One who, does the best that he can;.
one who keeps the Golden Rule; one
who is baptized and confirmed and
tries to keep the. Sabbath; one who
is trying to "follow the teachings
of Jesus", who . is faithful in all
religious activities and who tries to
express his faith -by - active 'good
'
worlds' in his; community„' ..etc".
But this is precisely themodern'
equivalent of that fearful heresy of
'ircumcision-righteousness', or right
ebusness by works, from which the
Apostles had been marvellously de-
livered thrsilgh faith in Jesus •Christ,
and from • whish' they . themselves
were' so desperately anxious that
the Christians at Antioch, Syria and
Cilieia also be. delivered. Not for the
preservation of their own righteous
mess, but "for the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, they had hazarded their
lived" (v 26). By the 'name of the
Lord Jesus' they had received that
saving knowledge whereby ' they.
learned' that they could not, by any
effort of their own, earn, achieve,
pay for, or co-operate with the free
and undeserved grace of God! Just-
ified by faith alone they knew the
joyful liberty of the children of God!
the return to 'circumcision, or the
imposition of this ceremony upon the
Gentiles, would be a flagrant denial
of the .liberty wherewith Christ . had
set then free, -just as flagrant a
denial of the Gospel as if we our-
selves were to trust in the observ-
ance of any religious works as a 'co-'
operating' with God in our own sal-
vation!
