Notes

Galatians 1:7

The "different gospel" (1:6) was a distortion and not the true message of salvation. The only way to be saved is through faith in Christ. Adding any extra requirements changes the message and it is no longer the good news.
some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ: The Judaizers (a group insisting on Jewish customs) knew they were altering the good news about Jesus to match their beliefs.

Galatians 1:6–10

I am amazed: In most of his letters, Paul usually expressed gratitude and prayed for those who received his letters after his greeting (for example, Romans 1:8–10; 1 Corinthians 1:4 –5; Philippians 1:3 –6; Colossians 1:3 –5; 2 Thessalonians 1:3 –12). But he had nothing positive to say about the Galatian church.

Galatians 1:1–2:21

Some people were against Paul and questioned whether he was a true apostle. They did not believe he was honest and did not think he had the right to be a leader in the church. So Paul begins his letter by explaining that he really was an apostle with authority from God.
