I love when Paul talks about "only one Gospel", his whole argument in v. 6-10. Then in chapter 2 he admonishes the Gentiles to not return to the law, reminding them we are justified by grace, not the works of the law. He reveals what the purpose of the law is, the schoolmaster which brought us to Christ which now needs to be jettisoned. He concludes with Christian liberty, walking in the fruit of the Spirit and living out the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens, doing good and boasting only in the glory of the cross where Christ put an end to the law. Genuine equality and peace is found only at the foot of the cross through Christ our Savior. See also my latest post on Adventism. https://substack.com/inbox/post/71830133
Most excellent. It is all about Paul rebuking those who once held to the true Gospel and returned to the Law. Reminding them that Jesus fulfilled the Law yet not abolishing it. Then comes my favorite part, living by the Law of the Spirit of Life. Amen?
Galatians is one of my favorite books.
Awesome. Why is it one of your favorites?
