Faith Working Through Love: The Message of Galatians (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385229000)

The message of Galatians is that life in God's family is about faith working through love--nothing else matters. If believers trust in anything but Jesus and his message to declare them righteous in God's sight, then they have missed the boat. Paul wrote this letter to a group of churches that were confused and misled by false teachers with bad motives--people who accepted a dash or two of Jesus but also wanted to bring their resumes to God. Things aren't so different today. But Galatians can be confusing. So many people have so many different opinions about it! How did one become a believer under the Old Covenant? Is it different now that Jesus has come? What are the "works of the law" that Paul writes so much about, and what do they have to do with salvation? Was a believer's motivation for serving God different in King David's day than it is since Jesus came? This commentary by a bi-vocational pastor will help Christians understand the letter to the Galatians. It explains the apostle's timeless message in everyday language for ordinary people so they can love God more and serve him in love.
