6-7-08 Galatians 1:15, 16 God Chose and Revealed His Son to You
Galatians 1:15, 16 (NAS)
But when He who had set me apart, even from my mother?s womb, and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,
Galatians 1:15, 16 (Philips)
But when it pleased God (who had chosen me from the moment of my birth, and called me by his grace)to reveal his Son to me: so that I might proclaim him to the non-Jewish world, I did not at once talk over the matter with any human being.
Galatians 1:15, 16 (NLT)
But then something happened! For it pleased God in his kindness to choose me and call me, even before I was born! What undeserved mercy! Then he revealed his Son to me so that I could proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles. When all this happened to me, I did not rush out to consult with anyone else;

Before the foundation of the world, Adonai gave thought to what He would do for the men He would create. He determined that it would be good to choose some for His special service. You were one that Almighty God marked and separated for Himself. He was well pleased with you and favorably inclined towards you. While you were still in your mother's womb, you were selected by your Heavenly Father to be well off and prospering.
He called aloud and invited you to bear His name. He placed you in a position to hear and receive His orders and commands, for He brought you into intimate relationship. Adonai bestowed the title of "son" on you through His good will and loving kindness. Not only did He call you by His mercy and grace, but God also strengthens your faith and helps you to do His will by that same mercy and grace.
Most importantly, Adonai's grace and mercy revealed the finished work of Jesus, the Messiah, to you. At one point, your eyes, your heart, and your spirit were veiled with darkness, but then God uncovered them and showed you the salvation that Jesus obtained for you. He changed your captivity into freedom and victory. What was hidden, concealed and escaped the notice of others was manifested to you.
Now you have the right and privilege to announce this good news of Jesus and to uncover this truth to a multitude from different tribes, nations, and people groups. You do not need to consult with others about this, or receive counsel, for this is Adonai's will for you. Mere flesh and blood, which is prone to sin and opposed to God, cannot know His will, but you have received His Spirit and His word. You know that the call you received from the Almighty is valid and true.
