The Beauty of the Gospel (WS)

Westside Campus

March 27, 2022 • Kenan Stolz • Galatians 4

Regardless of your background, we all understand the power of family. Be it positive or negative,
we all have family stories that leave a lasting impact. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, emphasized
the benefits of following Jesus, including the experience of gaining a new spiritual family. What's
truly remarkable about the gospel of grace is that not only do we receive forgiveness of sins and a
restored relationship with God, but we are actually adopted into the family of God, and we can call
Him Father. If this is not your primary view of God, then you may in fact be slipping into the exact
same error as the Galatians. Is your picture of God one of a divine taskmaster enslaving you to
obey? Or is your picture of God a Father who lovingly cares for and provides for His children?
