Paul wrote this letter to the Christians in Galatia as they had taken a wrong path and were at risk of becoming lost spiritually. They had at one point been spiritually lost but had been found and saved by the gospel message Paul had brought to them. However, in the journey as disciples they had taken a wrong turn and gone off the track and Paul was writing with some concern to help them back on track.

What does it mean to be a Christian? It means we are sons of God not slaves. It means
we are heirs of God and it means we have access to God the Father. All this has been
granted to us through Jesus Christ and received by faith in him.

The purpose of the law was, as it were, to lift the lid off man’s respectability and disclose what he is really like underneath – sinful, rebellious, guilty, under the judgement of God, and helpless to save himself.”
But now a Saviour has come who will set us free from the law, restore us into a right relationship with God and through the power of his Holy Spirit in us enables us to live godly lives that honour and please God as we seek to do his will.
It is through faith in that Saviour Jesus, v14 that all nations are blessed, become children of God and receive the promise of the Holy Spirit and through faith in the Saviour Jesus v26 we are all sons of God.
It is by faith that we are children of the promise, children of God and we continue to live by faith in the God who loved us and gave his son as an offering for us. This is how the promise, made of old to Abraham, comes to us in our day, through Jesus Christ who is our Saviour and our Lord. -

The whole point of this passage is to help these Christians and us see the importance of continuing our Christian journey in the same way that we began.
The Christian life begins in faith and continues in faith and its central focus is the cross of Christ.
We need regularly to come to the cross and renew our vision of what God has done for us that his love and grace may so rule our hearts that we live the life of Christ by faith and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We need often to come back to the cross and be gripped by the love of God and then allow that love to direct and motivate our living.
This is why as a spiritual father my concern is to help those who have begun this journey of faith to continue on that journey and to do it focussed on Jesus and his cross.
To that extent I teach the Bible and encourage people to read it for themselves, we run homegroups, we run courses, we encourage prayer and so on. If you are a Christian are you continuing and are you continuing in the grace of God rather than by your own efforts?

So how are we living? Are we showing in our lives that God is real to us?
Is there in us that desire to serve and honour God which is to obey his law?
Yes of course we will get it wrong and we will sin and over again we will need to come and seek forgiveness. But in Christ there is forgiveness and in Christ our eternal future in heaven is secure but only through his death on the cross.
Peter was encouraged by Paul to live what he believed and we are encouraged to do the same and, as Paul did, to be willing to stand up for what we believe, the truth of the gospel. -

Friends as we have been recognising especially over the last 12 months we are called to share the gospel, the good news of what God the Father has done for us in God the son, with those around us, our contact people. We recognise, as we saw at the beginning, that the gospel is God’s power for salvation and he uses it to bring people to faith. The gospel is God’s gospel and we are called to share it but not to alter it, not to adapt it, not to smother it in a cultural cloak so the gospel becomes unclear.

Changed LivesContinuing our series on Paul’s Letter to the Galatians we look at Galatians 1:11-24 and see that Paul emphasises the importance of the gospel he had brought to the Galatian churches – its source is from God; in its nature it is a gospel of grace and its consequences are changed lives.
