Context is Key

Galatians 2:7
(7) On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

I don't have any profound truths to share today other than a little hermeneutical note. This may seem obvious, but as I worked on memorizing this verse I thought of a little truth that we all would do well to remember. It's so easy to proof-text and ignore context.

If you just look at this verse in isolation you may think that there is a different gospel for the Jews than for the Gentiles. However, if you look at it in the context of the whole passage, book, and Bible you will see that everyone needs the cross. This passage is merely saying that Paul's mission was to preach Christ to the Gentiles while Peter's was for the Jews.

Don't fall prey to proof-texting. That's how cults form.
