Walking in Line with the Gospel

The purity of the gospel is so significant that Paul was willing to boldly confront Peter, who had been hypocritically proclaiming the gospel with his mouth, but not backing it up with his actions.  In this story we see just how easy it is to fall prey to the fear of man and in so doing forfeit our freedom in Christ.  And how our behavior flows out of our gospel identity, not simply our gospel understanding.
