The Antioch Incident

Jeremiah Cox
04/20/25 - Sunday 1st Worship

In Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia, he used an incident which occurred in Antioch involving Peter to make a strong point for justification by faith, and not by works of the law - "Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed" (Galatians 2:11). The incident serves us by helping us understand the nature of the problems Paul was addressing, as well as the ways we should interact with one another as brethren.
