Threats To Christian Freedom: Legalism, Part 1
In Galatians 5:2-24, Paul warns the Galatians of two dangerous threats to their life of freedom: legalism (vv. 2-12) and license (vv. 13-24). Paul begins in vv. 2-12 by warning the Galatians of the destructive consequences of legalistic doctrine (vv. 2-6) and the depraved disposition of legalistic teachers (vv. 7-12).
Stand Firm in Christian Freedom, Part 3
Christianity is freedom not bondage. In Galatians 5:1, Paul gives two key insights concerning Christian freedom. First, he states the fact of Christian freedom (v. 1a). The purpose of Christ’s redemption was to bring about the freedom of the believer. Second, he sets forth the response to this freedom (v. 1b). The response of the believer is to stand firm in this freedom. These two key insights embody the argument of the whole letter. Since the Galatians were not children of Hagar—the slave woman—but sons of Sarah—the free woman (v. 31) they are to stand firm in this freedom by the power of the Holy Spirit and not return to living under the slavery of law, whether it is the Mosaic Covenant or any kind of legal system.

Well-meaning Christians can be anti-Gospel!
Paul says that the greatest and most prescient threat to our Joy, our very salvation, comes not from outside the walls of the local church, but from inside. How can this be? What is this threat, and who are these people? One thing we must understand is that when something is close to being Gospel, it is actually more dangerous than anything that is without any hint or odor of Gospel. We must guard our Faith and examine our own hearts in this.
