Rooted in the great fundamental and revolutionary theme of freedom that exists in Christ, Galatians is of great importance to the modern Church and to a biblical understanding of the message of salvation. In particular, it examines the whole dimension of the new covenant which is “in Christ”.
This major epistle from the Apostle Paul answers man's deep questions: "How can we find true happiness?" ; “How can we know peace and be free from fear?” ; “What is the place of the law in the life and faith of the believer?”
It shows how, through faith in Christ, the believer is delivered from the condemnation of the law and the power of sin. By his perfect life, his atoning death and his triumphant resurrection, Christ acquired this freedom for him, and the Holy Spirit communicates it to him in regeneration, union with Christ and adoption of the Father.
Wonderful truths! But Paul goes further. It explores the practical and lived dimensions of the work of the Spirit in the believer. If the latter is free, he is also transformed (“a new creation”, says the Bible). The apostle reviews the wonderful privileges which are "in Christ," and the radically new way in which the life of God in the soul of man responds to them.
A clear but profound book, eminently biblical, capable of strengthening anyone who wants to take God at His word. The chapters are kept short for easy reading in an often overly busy life.
