Galatians

How can we, as Christians, be civil people in an uncivil time? The best description of civility I know is found in Galatians 5:22–23. If we would be people of civility, we need to be people who manifest the fruit of the Spirit. Let’s look at each manifestation of that fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Seeking Civility Through the Fruit of the Spirit

Paul wrote the book of Galatians to Christians who were tempted to add good works to the gospel. Although we might not want to admit it, adding to the gospel is a great temptation for us too. So be encouraged as Peter Mead takes us through these devotions, be reminded that Christ is everything, and that the gospel is all we need for our lives now in Jesus. 

Galatians: The Life I Now Live

Paul wrote a letter to the Galatians because he was very concerned about their spiritual well-being. They were in danger of straying from the right path, and Paul goes to great lengths to keep them from that. His explanations and advice are still extremely relevant today!

GOODNESS - Champions by the Fruit of the Spirit

Galatians was written as a strong rebuke of false teaching that infiltrated the churches in Galatia. Paul’s central argument reaffirms the foundation of the gospel: “a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ” (Galatians 2:16). Galatians reminds us to walk in the freedom of the true, untainted gospel and warns us against submitting again to the slavery of works-based salvation. 

Freedom: A Study in Galatians

Martin Luther once comically described the impact of the letter to the Galatians on him, “I have betrothed myself to it.” When the Galatian Christians were lured back to the legalistic practices of Judaism, Apostle Paul delivered a crystal-clear message: we are justified by faith in Jesus alone. The moral laws keep us to a certain standard in life, but true freedom comes when we walk in the spirit.

Through the Bible: Galatians

Understanding and delighting in God's law? Sign me up! 
The questions around the promises of God, obedience to the
law, and faith are ancient. Like Israel and the early church, believers today desire to obey the Lord. We desire to grow in our faith, and we feel the tension of wanting to “do” the right thing when it comes to our faith. 
Join Bible teacher Kristie Anyabwile in this 5-day plan as we study how the New Testament church grappled with these issues of obedience to the law and faith in Christ.
