Galatians #10: The Characteristics of False Teachers

As we continue to work our way through the Book of Galatians, we are examining the characteristics of the false teachers leading the believers astray…

Paul now exposes the wicked character of the wolves in sheep’s clothing among the Galatians.

Like his Lord, Paul had great patience with those who were caught in even the deepest moral sin. As much as Jesus and Paul condemned the sin itself and warned against its consequences, their love for the sinner was always evident. But also like the Lord, the apostle’s most scathing denunciations were reserved for those who pervert God’s truth and lead others into falsehood.

Six things to consider today regarding False Teachers:

Hinder the Truth (Galatians 5:7),
Are Not of God (Galatians 5:8)
They Contaminate the Church: (Galatians 5:9),
They Will Be Judged: (Galatians 5:10),
They Persecute True Teachers: (Galatians 5:11),
They Should Be Cut Off: (Galatians 5:12)
