Dear Galatia

Dear Galatia

During his travels, Paul heard about the lies that were being spread in Galatia. He heard about how this false teaching was impacting the church that he loved, so he wrote them a letter. In this letter, he called out the foolishness of this new teaching and reminded them of his own past experiences with the law. He reminded them that it is in Christ that we find our righteousness, not the law. And he shared his heart for them, reminding both them and us of the importance of walking according to The Holy Spirit, not the flesh.

Galatians 1:10
In our previous episode, we heard how the council of apostles and elders in Jerusalem, along with Paul and Barnabas, affirmed that gentile believers were not bound to Jewish customs outlined in the law, but should focus on abstaining from things that would hinder their relationship with God in Christ – such as sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols. Today we’ll hear Paul’s words to the church in Galatia and his affirmation of their freedom in Christ, not because of obedience to the law and things like circumcision, but because of faith and the grace of God.
