The gospel is supposed to set us free. So why are we so tempted to turn faith into another system of rules, expectations, and measurements of who belongs? In Galatians, Paul writes with urgency to a church that has begun adding requirements to the good news of Jesus Christ. His response is passionate and uncompromising: our identity and our relationship with God rest in Christ, not in our ability to prove ourselves worthy.
Over three weeks, Called to Freedom explores grace, belonging, and what Christian freedom actually means. Paul reminds us that freedom in Christ isn't permission to do whatever we want. It is freedom from having to earn our place with God—and freedom to become people whose lives are shaped by the Spirit and expressed through love.
