Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, now starts to get into the heart of the matter. There were some in the church at Galatia who were preaching and teaching that you couldn't be saved unless you are circumcised. Thus they then tried to disregard Paul authority at as an Apostle. Notice that when false doctrine is being taught that it comes in quietly and the damage that it can bring. We must not budge when it comes to the truth. We must be bold and teach the Truth it in a loving way.

Paul tells us how easily and how harmful false doctrine can be. How Peter was moved by fear and this fear can cause us to sin by caving into the false doctrine. And not only us but others to follow after it like Barnabas did with Peter. When we see false teaching we need to address it. We must not try to justify ourselves but be justify by Christ.?
