As Paul begins this letter to the Galatians, he offers his typical greeting. In his greeting to the Galatians, Paul offers two of the primary features of this letter: a defense of his apostleship and a defense of the only true and all-sufficient gospel of Jesus. He includes the two primary emphasis of the gospel - the self-sacrifice of Jesus for sins and his resurrection from the dead. Paul longs for these believers to truly understand the gospel and salvation. He longs for them not to be deceived by the false presentation gospel, in truth another gospel, and to be led astray by it. Do you understand the gospel? Have you accepted the truth of of gospel? Are you living in light of the gospel today?

The major theme of Galatians is the gospel – the message of salvation! What is it? Who is right about the means of salvation? In order to fully address this vital issue, Paul is going to address the subjects of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, faith, justification, freedom, the law and the implications of these in our daily living. Galatians is not a book offering believers the ultimate license to live however they please. Galatians is instead an explanation of all that we possess through the glorious gospel of Jesus and the implications of it for our daily lives. The gospel is given and intended to change us, to shape us more into the image of Jesus. By God’s grace, we can understand the truth of the gospel and be transformed by it.
