The Gospel in Galatians

The Story of Scripture is the story of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The entire Bible points to this single glorious message: God has loved us and has sent his Son Jesus to deliver us from the guilt and condemnation of sin through his life, death and resurrection. This is why the message of Galatians is so important. First, Galatians presents the absolute necessity and sufficiency of the gospel in the daily expression of faith and practice of the Christian life. We learn that if the message of the Gospel is not at the core of everything we believe and do, our so-called Christianity is vain and doomed. The gospel is at stake. Our salvation is at stake.

We also learn how pervasive the tendency of the human heart is to abandon the truth of the word of God. Every Christian in every age, from the new convert to the apostle, struggles with the temptation of living and behaving in ways that deny the faith that he or she proclaims. Every Christian is tempted to try to gain divine approval on the basis of his or her behavior. The letter to the Galatians shows us how this tendency is nothing short of heretical for it denies the glorious nature and sufficiency of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Learn how we can rejoice in the perfection of God and of his gracious work for us through Christ. From Galatians we can learn to live and rejoice in Christ alone, so that we can join Paul in saying:

“…far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Galatians 6:14
