Top Highlights
“Paul includes heavenly angels and his own circle of apostles—whether ‘sent out’ by Christ Himself or by missionary-sending churches—in order to highlight the fact that nobody is off the hook. The purity of the message takes precedence over the prestige of the person. This phrasing makes the curse universal—if anyone were to preach a gospel different from what Paul and Barnabas preached, he would deserve to be damned.” (Page 20)
“The phrase ‘walk by the Spirit’ in 5:16 is another way of saying, ‘live by the Spirit’ or ‘let your conduct be directed by the Spirit.’[47] The issue is control. The solution is surrender. Our sinful desires and the desires of the Holy Spirit are forever at odds with each other.” (Page 124)
“The fact that God has chosen us for salvation in Christ should not cause us to boast; it should drive us to humility” (Page 168)
“Second, we struggle against an organized hierarchy of demonic rulers, powers, and forces of wickedness” (Page 303)
“First, Satan and his demons are not ‘flesh and blood’ (6:12); they are spiritual beings.” (Page 302)
