GALATIANS – “Good News” | Jan 20 – Feb 24, 2019
If someone asked you to explain the gospel, what would you say? What is the good news of the Christian faith? Writing to the Galatians, Paul made it clear how easily we can be tempted to turn toward fraudulent gospels, especially those that teach we can earn God’s love through our works. Though they may have the appearance of truth, they are lifeless and leave us empty in the end. True freedom is found in surrender, not self-dependence, because our gospel is not one based on our works, but faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
