God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive – a little like “parlor tricks.” Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?
Paul “stood in the gap.” A heresy was threatening the churches in Galatia that was so powerful that even Peter and Barnabas were swayed by its influence. What Paul did can tell us a lot about the importance of standing firm against false teachings and standing up to protect God’s people.
