Galatians' Scripture: The Admonition Of Paul To Galatians

The Epistle to the Galatians, often shortened to Galatians, is the ninth book of the New Testament. It is a letter from Paul the Apostle to several Early Christian communities in Galatia. The Book of Galatians reminds the Church to embrace and follow the gospel message of the crucified Messiah. The requirement for non-Jewish Christians to become Torah observers and be circumcised or eat kosher misses the point. Jesus alone fulfills the laws of the Torah and justifies believers.

This letter was one of Martin Luther’s favorite texts, and upon it was built what would become The Reformation. John Wesley started a revival by preaching from this letter. How we need a return to the standards laid out in Galatians! Today’s church has lost its way, lost sight of the centrality of Christ, and hardly knows what the Cross is about other than it is the wood that Jesus died on.
