The Message of Galatians
To enclaves of young converts tucked away in the mountains of Asia Minor, Paul wrote what is perhaps the oldest document in the New Testament - the letter to the Galatians. What problems were they facing?
Among a variety of religious authorities espousing different teachings, how were they to know who was right? How were men and women to be put right with God? How could Christians in the midst of a pagan culture live lives truly pleasing to God?
'Only one way -' answered Paul, 'through Jesus Christ.' His answer holds true for us as well. The details of our struggle have changed since Paul's day, but the principles he sets forth are as timeless as the Lord he exalts. Get the book
Galatians: The Life I Now Live -36 Undated devotions through the book of Galatians
Paul wrote the book of Galatians to Christians who were tempted to add good works to the gospel. They faced pressure to move on from Jesus and to live independently, following the law to secure their own salvation.
Although we might not want to admit it, adding to the gospel is a great temptation for us too. Like the Galatian Christians, we sometimes live in a way that shows we think we can save ourselves and please God apart from Jesus.
So be encouraged as Peter Mead takes us through 36 undated devotions; be reminded that Christ is everything, that the gospel is sufficient and that we have all we need for our lives now in Jesus.
Helpful reflection questions will allow you to dwell on these great truths throughout the day. Get the book
