Paul could reduce his life down to just one goal. The one thing had top priority in his life. “This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth for those things which are before; I press toward the mark of the prize of a high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” You see, he had his eye and his mind and his heart and his total affections fixed upon Jesus Christ. Now that reduces life down to the lowest common denominator and gives us the highest answer that you can get. And, of course, that answer is Christ Himself.
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.
