Join Eddie Rose our Youth Leader as he continues to take us through the book of Galatians in the Bible.
Galatians is written into a very particular situation. After Paul had founded the Galatian Christian community, a community that included both Jews and Gentiles, Jewish Christian evangelists had arrived arguing that those who wanted to follow Christ had to be Jewish and so needed to be circumcised. Paul’s vehement rejection of this message is what drives the letter to the Galatians, where he argues that it is faith in Christ, not observance of the Jewish law, that justifies people with God. It is faith and nothing else that allows them to participate in the dying and rising of Christ into a new way of being, marked by true freedom.
