Galatians (BOOK BY BOOK)

"Book by Book: Galatians is part of the ongoing "Book by Book series that covers the various books of the Bible and is hosted by Rev. Richard Bewes and Dr.Paul Blackham, pastors at All Souls Church in London, England. This edition, devoted to the book of Galatians, features guest teacher, Jonathan Edwards, Olympic gold medalist. The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Galatians to explain how trusting in Christ gives true freedom--from legalism and sin. He sets forth his argument against trusting in the Law itself for salvation: the Law taught that salvation would come from the Messiah alone. Paul presents examples from the Old Testament that help us understand the eternal gospel and how the temporary period of the Law pointed to faith in the same gospel. After explaining about total freedom in Christ, Paul goes on to tell us what this freedom means in practical terms.
