Galatians
Paul writes to the churches in Galatia out of deep concern that they are forsaking the gospel that he has preached and are listening instead to the message of certain Jewish evangelists who are arguing that Gentiles must be circumcised according to Jewish law before they can follow Christ. Paul, himself a Jew, insists that people are justified by faith in Christ rather than by keeping the requirements of Torah. By faith, they participate in the death and resurrection of Christ and now live as God’s children and heirs of God’s promises. By the Spirit’s leading, this life of faith is no longer marked by sinful works of the flesh but bears fruit in freedom that serves the neighbor through love. -James Boyce on Enter the Bible
