I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)
St. Paul’s letter to the Church in Galatia is one filled with love, confusion, hurt, and hope. In it we see his love for these people that he labored among and his deep love for them.
But they are being misled and told different things in his absence. A “different Gospel” is being propagated, nullifying his work and, more importantly, endangering their faith and salvation.
This won’t do!
Paul lovingly chastises them and remind them that a “different gospel” is really NO Gospel!
