Galatians | Paul Opposes Peter: When the Gospel Is at Stake

Season 2, Episode 138

In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series through Galatians by examining one of the most striking confrontations in the New Testament: Paul’s public rebuke of Peter in Antioch. Working through Galatians 2:11–21, they explore why Peter’s withdrawal from Gentile believers was more than a social mistake—it communicated a theology his own beliefs denied. The discussion traces Paul’s argument from table fellowship to justification, showing why requiring Jewish distinctions for full fellowship ultimately undermines the sufficiency of Christ. Along the way, Michael and Zach examine what Paul means by “works of the Law,” why even Jews who possessed the Law still needed justification by faith, what it means to die to the Law, and how “I have been crucified with Christ” explains the believer’s new life in Him. The episode culminates in Paul’s stark conclusion: if righteousness could come through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.
