Paul’s concern in Galatians is that Christians stay in step with the truth of the gospel. This means to embrace the gospel as truth, believe in it for salvation, and live the new life that flows from its impact on the heart. In this passage,...
In this section of Galatians Paul continues to refute the false teachers who accused him of preaching a gospel that was different from the one preached by the other apostles. In the end, Paul shows that he and the other apostle agreed on the gospel...
The gospel is not from man in any way, it is from God in every way. The gospel’s origin, accomplishments, revelation to us, and application to our hearts are all from God. This means it is truly the power of God to save us from...
The opening of Paul’s letter to the Galatians gets right to the point. Paul is upset that some people are adding human works and merit to the gospel of God’s grace and justification by faith. He is concerned that this “different gospel”— which is no...
The council in Jerusalem confirmed the truth of the gospel that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that this salvation is applied to us through faith in him. A pure gospel is the power to save, the joy of...

When the word of the Lord is received with faith, there is great joy. The joy of knowing the grace of God in Christ remains in us and sustains us through the trials and temptations of life. Even in sorrow, the joy of the Lord...
This passage is moving toward the exhortation to continue in the grace of God. In it we hear the gospel of Jesus, how he came from God through Israel as the Savior, and how he forgives our sins and calls us to faith. This gospel...
This passage instructs our praying as the word of the Lord is preached. When the gospel is proclaimed, some hear and believe while others are blind to its grace and power. Only the Lord can overcome darkness with light and blindness with sight. So we...
