The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible.
The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Galatians 2

Galatians 2

The curse (Gal 1:8-9) - things devoted to destruction, (Due 26:28, Lev 27:28-29, Lev 10:1-3, 1Co 15:22). Rather than being in conflict with the apostles he teaches in concert with them (Act 15:1-5, Gal 2:1-10). Legalism uses force - compulsion, fear, envy to enslave (Gal 2:4-5). Go has no elite children. Galatians was written around Hab 2:4 —"the just shall live by faith". Living faith cannot help but be actively involved, but is motivated by the Spirit. All believers have a manifestation of the Spirit for the benefit of all (Gal 2:8, 1Co 12:1-7). Paul defends his apostleship by telling of the incident with Peter (Gal 2:11-15). How we live declares how we believe. Key verse is Gal 2:16. On what does our salvation rest —our accomplishments or Him (Gal 2:17-21, Col 2:4-6)? If works save us, Christ died in vain (Gal 2:21).
