It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

About Galatians-
Freedom in Christ. Freedom in Christian Reconciliation, not in Cultural Assimilation.
“Galatians is about understanding that God’s love is more transformative than God’s laws.”
Freed from Sin & Freed for Significance (Promise and Purpose)
1.) Stand in Freedom (Galatians 5:1)
2.) Secure Your Freedom (Galatians 5:2-6)
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
“It’s not what you do (your labor), but what Christ did (God’s Love).”
3.) Stay in God’s word (Galatians 5:7)
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?
Freedom not just for you (Galatians 5:13-14)
[ FREE people, FREE others ]
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Ask yourself: As a “Free” person, what am I doing with my “Free” time?
