Now my friend, may I say this to you very candidly today. I want to be very careful. And it’s this: Unless you stay close to the Word of God, which will keep you close to the Person of Christ where the Holy Spirit can take the things of Christ and make them real to you, you’re going to get weary in the Christian life and you’re going to faint in your minds. And that’s the reason there are so many discouraged Christians around today. My friend, you come to the Word of God and get close to Jesus Christ, and you’re going to be encouraged. And you’re not going to be weary about this life down here.
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.
