 Galatians

Paul wrote to a church in crisis. They believed in Jesus but were being pressured to adopt Old Testament law as their way of life.

Despite his own background of observing this law religiously, Paul knew that his life changed when he met Jesus. In this letter, Paul shares with passion and authority that a Christian’s life comes from faith in Jesus expressed through love, a product of the Spirit’s work in believers.

While technical in parts, Paul’s argument to believers to trust Jesus over religion results in powerful practical guidance for living in freedom a Spirit-filled, world-changing life.

'Did Paul really mean that? Episode 6 - Salvation Anxiety (Galatians)' by Owen Lynch - July 12 2020

What does it mean to have faith in God? In this talk, Owen Lynch looks at the apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians and how he guided them to depend on faith instead of religious law. Christians enjoy the freedom this brings, but sometimes worry about losing their status with God if they doubt or don't know the right thing to believe. There is good news, though, if we discover what Paul really meant by "faith" and how we can depend on God's faithfulness.
