True and False Teachers
(Galatians 6:11-18) INTRODUCTION: One of the most important lessons that Paul teaches about the gospel is the fact that justification (your being accepted by God as righteous) is not by our keeping of the law (reliance on self) but by simple faith in Christ and in what he has done to save us (Gal. 3:10-14). […]

Walking in the Spirit
This devotional is based on Galatians 5:25-6:10. Salvation is not only about justification, it is also about sanctification. Because we belong to Jesus Christ, we have his Spirit dwelling in us (Rom. 8:9). He is the one who does the work of sanctification in our lives in order for us to become more and more […]

The Works of the Flesh
Galatians 5:19–22 [19] Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, [20] idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, [21] envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of […]

True Christianity
TEXT: Galatians 4: 8-20 INTRODUCTION: Christianity is not about religious observance; it’s about personal relationships (Romans 14:5-8): our relationship to God, to our brethren and to Christ. 1.

Sons and Heirs (part 1)
Galatians 4:1–7 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the […]

The Law and the Promise
Galatians chapter 3, verses 15 to 29. To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to […]

The Faith of Abraham
Galatians 3:6-9 … just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations […]

Bewitched!
“Are you so foolish? Having started with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?” (Galatians 3:3 NRSV) INTRODUCTION Read Galatians 3:1-5. Why do people not believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone in Christ? One reason is because Satan has bewitched them (2 Cor. 4:3-4). However, some Christians who believe that […]

Preserving the Gospel
“And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.” (Galatians […]
