Galatians: The Guilt of Legalism vs. The Gospel of Liberty
Galatians 4:12-31

For the Apostle Paul, the history of salvation boils down to one major issue. Are you the offspring of the slave woman, Hagar, or of the free woman, Sarah? Paul reminds the Galatian believers of how God’s promise to Abraham was fulfilled not through the law, but through Jesus as the descendant of Isaac. We should not to try to fulfill God’s promise by human effort, but instead wait on God.

Galatians: The Guilt of Legalism vs. The Gospel of Liberty

Series Description

Not long after the Apostle Paul had planted churches in the Roman province of Galatia, he heard that the Christians there had begun to drift away from the gospel. In his letter to the Galatian churches, Paul confronts the distorted gospel that they were starting to embrace, and rebukes those who were responsible for leading the church away from the gospel upon which those churches were founded. By studying Galatians we discover that the only alternative to the gospel of liberty is a “gospel” of legalism, which still tempts Christians today.
