It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.                                                                                                                Galatians 5:1 Freedom, it’s what everyone is seeking, freedom from guilt and shame, freedom from the past and confidence about the future. The…

But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.                                                                                                              Galatians 4:29  It’s as great approach to religious legalism than I can imagine. Paul’s combination of clarity and frankness drives home the point.  Tell…

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.                                                         …

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?                                                                                                                    Galatians 4:9  Paul continues with his…

Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.                                                                                                                Galatians 4:6-7 Imagine a billionaire tycoon with a son who is…

Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.                                                                                                             Galatians 3:24-25 So if God knew that humanity was incapable of adhering to the Law, then why did…

For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.” Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “The righteous man shall live by faith.” However,…

Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham,saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the…

You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many…

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.                                                                                                                    Galatians 2:21  Today’s passage is at the heart of Paul’s message to the Galatian churches and is a reminder for the church today to proclaim the gospel alone as…
