Galatians Week 12

As Galatians continues, Paul remains concerned for the people of Galatia, that they keep Jesus and only Jesus at the center of their faith. It is not the keeping of the law that leads to union with God, it is Jesus’ righteousness. At this point, he then begins to build out an ethic based on Jesus’ example and the power of the Holy Spirit. Not surprisingly, it is an ethic that sounds exactly like what Jesus preached. The law is summed up in one word: love.
