Galatians Week 1

Audio - Bethel Worship Center

This series takes a look at Paul's letter to the church of Galatia. The theme throughout his letter is about the freedom we have through Christ. It's not a freedom to live however we want. It's a freedom from the penalty and the power of sin. It's a freedom to live how he has created, and called us to live, in relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ empowered by the Spirit. Paul starts strong out of the gate in his letter to the Galatians, but Paul only starts this way because he’s so passionate about the gospel. The Galatians were listening to outside voices that wanted to add stipulations to their salvation in Christ. We have to be careful who we allow to influence our faith. If we’re not, we can find ourselves in a similar place as the Galatians. When it comes to eternal salvation, faith in Christ plus anything ruins everything.
