Now friends we come back here to the second chapter of Galatians and we left off at verse nineteen. Paul says, “For I through law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.” He says, “When Christ died, He died for me, died in my stead, because the Law had condemned me.” Therefore, the Law could not do for me what Christ has done for me. He not only took my place and died for me, but He also did something else. He was able to give me life. He came back from the dead. Only Christ can give you life. And after all, life is what we need 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. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight.
