A child of God with a new nature longs to please Christ in all things. And if you don’t, friends, something is radically wrong. And that’s the reason that I believe the study of the Word of God is essential today. It takes the total Word of God today. Not just a few little verses and draw out some little legalistic system by which you attempt to live and if you’ll follow that, why you’ll be able to live the Christian life. You cannot live the Christian life by following rules. You can only live the Christian life by having the mind of Christ and by having the Spirit of God moving in you.
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.
