Paul Calls Peter Out: When Actions Deny the Gospel
About this episode
Matt and Todd discuss Paul's public confrontation of Peter regarding the truth of the gospel and the importance of loving correction among believers.
What happens when one apostle publicly confronts another? In Galatians 2:11–21, Peter knows that Jews and Gentiles are one in Christ—but fear causes his actions to contradict his beliefs. Paul refuses to remain silent because the truth of the gospel is at stake. Matt and Todd explore why Paul confronted Peter publicly, how even mature believers can stumble, and why loving confrontation is sometimes necessary. Along the way, they uncover the life-changing truth at the heart of Paul's correction: We are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ, not through religious performance.
