My friend, today you say you’re a Christian. What do you mean by that? “Oh, I’ve trusted Christ.” Trusted Him for what? “I trusted Him as my Savior. He’s done so much for me.” Fine, I’m glad to hear that. But did He save you from sin? Remember He died on the cross to save you from sin; not to give you a new personality or make you a millionaire. He died to save you from sin. “He was delivered for our offenses.” And we were very offensive to God, by the way. Are you saved, friend? That’s important today.
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.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
