Interpretation of Galatians Chapter 1 Verse 23
Galatians 1:23 is part of Paul’s letter to the Galatian churches in which he defends his gospel and his apostleship, both of which had been challenged by false teachers. Paul emphasizes that his gospel came directly from God, not from any man. In this verse, he expresses his surprise that the Galatians had heard of his former persecution of the church, as he had never told them of it himself. He marvels that they have heard of how he had previously been hostile to the faith he now preaches, suggesting that God had made it known to them. This verse serves as a reminder that God works in unexpected ways, and He can use even our mistakes and failures for His glory.
