God does not delight in judgment. The prophet says, “Judgment is his strange work.” He doesn’t like to judge. But don’t you forget it; He will do it. He’d rather not judge, but God will judge. He delights in salvation. He wants to save. It’s not His will “that any should perish,” but He does say, “he that believeth not is already condemned.” He will come into judgment. He will not pass from death to life. God says that he stands condemned before Him, but God says, “It will break my heart if you don’t come to Christ. He died for you. And it will break My heart if you don’t come—but if you don’t come,” He says, “you’re lost.”
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
