Run Well, Live Free

Paul tells the Galatians, “You were running well.” What happened? False teachers had added religious requirements that muted the offense of the cross. Paul warns that “a little leaven leavens the whole lump” and calls the church back to gospel clarity: we’re saved by grace through Christ alone. Christian freedom isn’t a license to indulge the flesh; it’s power to love and serve one another. The whole law is fulfilled in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
