Paul uses his testimony as a defense against the Judaizers' accusations. The Judaizers were like a substitute teacher that undermines the main teacher's authority while he or she is away. Paul states that his goal is to please God and not men. In fact, Paul contests that he not only received the gospel from Christ Himself, but he also promoted the gospel in a situation with Peter in which Peter acted inconsistently with truth as a result of trying to please men. Mike Sullivan explores what implications Paul's response to the Judaizers has for us.
