Galatians - Be Free: Part 5

In part five of our Galatians series, we’re reminded that the Christian life begins and continues by faith in Christ alone. Paul confronts the Galatians—and us—with a sobering question: if we began by the Spirit, why do we now try to finish by the flesh? In this powerful message, we hear again the heartbeat of the gospel: salvation is not earned through law-keeping, rituals, or performance, it is received by faith. Drawing from their own experience, the life of Abraham, and even the Old Testament law itself, Paul makes one thing clear: Jesus bore the curse of the law on our behalf so that we could be blessed with the promise of the Spirit. May we stop striving, lay down our self-effort, and rest in the finished work of Christ.
