Galatians Companion Guide: 3 Daily Readings, Maps, Diagrams (Digital Download)

Understanding Galatians: A Companion Guide and Reading Plan

Seminary-level insight, made accessible for busy adults. Galatians is Paul’s most urgent letter. Some teachers were telling Gentile believers that faith in Christ wasn’t enough, and that to truly belong to God’s people they must also keep the Jewish law. Paul’s answer is clear: we are made right with God by faith in Christ alone. This guide helps you follow Paul’s argument and see why Galatians has been called the charter of Christian freedom.

WHY GALATIANS MATTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Galatians is short, about 20 minutes to read, but its influence is enormous. It shaped the early church’s decision to welcome Gentiles without requiring them to become Jews, and centuries later it helped spark the Reformation. Paul shows that God’s promise to Abraham was always about faith, and that all who belong to Christ, Jew and Gentile alike, are Abraham’s children and heirs. Galatians also shows that freedom in Christ is not freedom to do as we please but freedom to love and serve one another. That is the life of the Spirit, whose fruit is “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
