Where We're Going — Galatians Introduction, Part 2

Before we walk Galatians verse by verse, we take it from thirty thousand feet. Six chapters, three parts, one destination.

Paul opens by telling his own story, because someone had walked into these churches and told them his gospel was second hand. It wasn't. It came by the revelation of Jesus Christ... the same revelation we hold in our hands today. Then he explains what it says: justified by faith, adopted as sons, made full heirs. And then the plane comes down on freedom. Not freedom back to the rules, and not freedom to do whatever you want, but freedom to love, to serve one another, and to walk by the Spirit.

Two men can work the same field. One works terrified, looking over his shoulder, afraid of losing his job. The other is the owner's son, working land that will one day be his. Same work. Completely different heart. That is where Galatians is trying to take us.
