The letter to the Galatians is one of God’s gifts to us in the way that it both promotes and protects the true Gospel – the good news that Jesus entrusted to His Apostles. As we unpack the first 10 verses we encounter a masterful summary of the gospel message; a passionate plea to the Galatians to not turn away from God by accepting a different gospel; and a resounding rebuke to those who are corrupting the Gospel of Grace by teaching that our salvation relies on our obedience. This is not just splitting theological hairs! Obedience always follows salvation, but we must never make salvation conditional on our obedience. That’s a false gospel that is robbed of its power to save completely, because our obedience is never complete! Paul will expand this theme over the course of the letter, but in his introduction this one resounding point is made: we are saved by Grace, and grace alone.
