Galatians

 

Galatians

On Paul’s first missionary journey, the Galatians were deceived by false teachers who insisted on the necessity of following the law of Moses in order to be accepted by God. In the strongest possible terms, Paul renounces that message, proclaiming that salvation comes by faith alone in Christ alone. Faith leads to freedom and that produces life-giving spiritual fruit in our lives by which we can bless others.

Paul wrote this letter to magnify God’s grace in salvation and to explain the freedom of God’s people because of that grace. He explains how God delivered him from bondage through faith in Jesus Christ. He tells how to enjoy grace and freedom in your daily life.

Christian freedom is the liberty to become all that you can in Jesus Christ; it is not a license to do whatever you please. The worst bondage you can experience is living for yourself and yielding to the desires of the old nature. (Romans 6). We have freedom to do good or evil, yet to make the choice of evil, is not to use, but to abuse our freedom. Christ did not free us to be our own; He freed us to be His and His alone.

In Him alone, is our salvation, our righteousness, our joy, both now and in eternity.
