Galatians: Identity
July 25, 2021 • Pastor Damian Mericka • Galatians 1, Galatians 2
Justification.
This is the theme of the Letter Paul writes to the Believers in the Galatia region that had become churches during his First Missionary Journey. However, not everyone was happy with the Jerusalem Council’s decision and without the modern means of communication afforded us today, Judaizers worked quickly to continue pressing Gentile believers to convert to Judaism through circumcision.
The Spirit inspires Paul to pen this letter which can circulate faster than Paul can physically travel. One theme we see throughout the book is our identity in Christ, which is what we will be looking at today.
