Galatians: The Essence of Being a Christian

As Christians, we believe we are saved by faith alone. But we often live as though God accepts and loves us based on our actions. This three-session course explores Galatians, where Paul teaches the rich joys and freedom of living under the grace of Christ.

Session One

Live Under God's Full Blessing
God blesses those who rely on him rather than on themselves.

This study calls believers to rely not on human effort to please God, but to trust in Christ and the Holy Spirit for righteousness.

Session Two

The Way to Spiritual Vitality
if your Christian life feels like duty and drudgery, here is the secret to a dynamic relationship with God.
Galatians 3:15–25

Galatians 3:15–25 explores the purpose of the law in light of the promise of Christ. This study helps us discover the joy of living by faith in Christ and his promises.

Session Three

A Vibrant Hope for the Future
Your inheritance exceeds your wildest dreams.
Galatians 3:26–4:7

Good News! Your inheritance exceeds your wildest dreams! When we unite with Christ, he qualifies us for the full rights of God's children. This study describes the vast implications of being a son or daughter of God.
