In the last chapter of Galatians, Paul sums up the entire letter with one message. You are a new creation in Christ, regardless of where you came from or what circumstances you found yourself in before. Adam Barnett wraps up our study on the book of Galatians by looking at the last seven verses of Paul's letter.
A New Creation

Galatians 6:11 (NIV)
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
Galatians 6:12-15 (NIV)
12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh. 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
Salvation is an interior, supernatural transformation, in no way dependent on external, human effort.
Galatians 6:14 (NIV)
14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Galatians 6:15 (NIV)
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
