Biblical Compliance for Gospel Integrity & Public Correction


Gospel Integrity & Public Correction
Galatians 2:11-14
But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

Insisting that the gospel be practiced consistently, not just preached, honours the God whose character is consistent and whose promises are reliable.

Correcting a leader's public hypocrisy protects those who were being harmed by it — in this case, Gentile believers who were being made to feel excluded.
