I was just studying Galatians and here are my notes from it. 

Summary

Paul sent by God not man. Don’t trust any other gospel. Paul sent to uncircumcised Gentiles. We have freedom in Christ. Circumcision is not necessary for Gentiles. Peter, James and John sent to the circumcised. Paul confronted Cephas for being a hypocrite in how he avoided the Gentiles when others were watching. We are justified through faith in Christ not through works or the law. Spirit is received through faith not works of the law. Abraham believed and it was credited to him as righteousness. If we believe then we are adopted and heirs to the promise. It is for freedom that Christ has set up free. Flesh vs Spirit. Carry each other’s burdens. Harvest rewards. What counts is that you are a new creation.

2nd Corinthians 8-9 - Christian Sharing & Equality

• Guide to good living
• Invitation to co-create with God
• Overview Study of the 1st Corinthians
• Equality
• Sharing
• Should we steal from the rich.
• Should we sell all we've got and give it to the poor.

"From time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need."

Notice it says "from time to time". It is not a command that this is how we should behave always. Just because some people sold their possession and gave the money to the apostles, it does not mean we ought to do the same right now.

If we dig deeper in the Bible we could find God's people doing all sorts of things good and even bad. Often, good behaviour is a good example for us to follow, and bad behaviour, even committed by God's people, is definitely something for us to learn from and not follow. Like King David's adultery with Bathsheba, or the murder Moses committed. We need to be tuned into God to give us wisdom in discerning what is a Biblical description, and what is a prescription for us to follow today.

So what does the Bible say about sharing?
