While we are instructed to walk by faith, not by sight, we instinctively know how difficult such walking is. Our reality is often shaped by what we see and know. We are drawn to the things of the world, not necessarily because they are more precious, but often simply because they seem more real. Paul seeks to win the Galatians back to the true gospel, to a faith that is based on a proclamation, not in the reality of works of the flesh. Like Paul, we should fight for people’s hearts and minds, just as Paul does even here for us. We should be won to the gospel, and the gospel alone.
