In this volume we give you Charles H. Spurgeon commentary on Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians.
The Prince of Preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon (19th June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was not only a wonderful orator but also magnificent with his pen. The sermons he preached touched the lives of thousands. His writings still continue to reach those who read them to this very day.
Reading Spurgeon today may be secondary to the impossibility of hearing him but there is no doubt that his words still carry the weight of Biblical truth.
Spurgeon is best remembered as the pastor the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, England. There he enjoyed many years of fruitful ministry, leading people to Christ and pastoring the ever growing congregation of the Church.

Galatians 1:1. Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) —
Paul begins this Epistle by stating his commission as an apostle. In Galatia, he had been subjected to the great sorrow of having his apostle-ship called in question. Does he, therefore, give up his claim to the office, and retire from the work? No, not for a moment; but he begins his letter to the Galatians by declaring himself to be an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ.
His enemies had said, Paul was never one of the Saviour’s twelve apostles; he is not like those who were trained and educated by Christ himself. No doubt he has borrowed his doctrine from them, and he is only a retailer of other men’s goods
. No, no, says Paul,
I am an apostle as truly as any other of the twelve; ‘not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;’" —
Galatians 1:2. And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: —
Paul ever loved to associate others with him in his Christian service. He was not one who wanted to ride the high horse, and to keep himself aloof from his brethren in Christ. He frequently mentions the true-hearted men who were with him, even though they were far inferior to him in talent and also in grace. He often joins with himself such men as Timothy and Silvanus, and here he puts in, all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
—
Galatians 1:3. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, —
It is the genius of the gospel to wish well to others. Hence Paul begins the actual Epistle with a benediction: Grace be to you and peace.
Dear friends, may you all have a fullness of these two good things! Grace rightly comes first, and peace afterwards. Peace before grace would be perilous; nay more, it would be ruinous. But may you always have enough of grace to lead you on to a deep and joyful peace! The two things go together very delightfully, — grace and peace, — and it is the best of grace, and the best of peace, since they come from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
—
Galatians 1:4. Who gave himself for our sins, —
There is the doctrine of the atonement, which Paul always brings into his preaching and writing as soon as he can: Who gave himself for our sins.
Well does Luther say, Christ never gave himself for our righteousness; but he gave himself for our sins, because there was no other way of saving us except by a sacrifice for sin.
The substitutionary character of Christ’s death is always to be noticed: Who gave himself for our sins,
—
Galatians 1:4-5. That he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself puts away our sin in order that we may rise out of it, and may become a pure and holy people, delivered
