Why should you remember geography when reading Scripture?
Remembering geography when reading Scripture matters because geography and history fit together with the overall working of the Holy Spirit. For example, knowing Galatia was in Asia Minor helps readers understand the historical setting of Paul's converts and the broader context of Scripture.
Les teaches that you should always remember geography when you read Scripture, because geography and history all fits together with the overall working of the Holy Spirit. In the context, he points out that Galatia was in Asia Minor, which helps explain the setting of Paul's converts brought out of paganism. The surrounding passage shows Paul reminding the Galatians of their former blessedness and love for him, and then turning to 2 Timothy to illustrate how few responded, yet this pattern has always been the case. Geography anchors the historical and spiritual narrative.
