-The church in Galatia was experiencing Jews and Gentiles worshipping on equal footing, which previously represented a significant cultural divide.
-There was opposition, not just coming from outside of the church, but within the church.
-We are all children of God, meaning there should be no barrier. Specifically:
*No cultural barrier (Jew or Gentile)
*No socioeconomic barriers (slave or free)
*No gender barrier (male or female)
-Paul is saying that I am to see Christ in you first. If I see Christ in you first, then how I treat you is a reflection of how I see God.
-We are all one IN CHRIST, meaning we find our identity and calling in Him first.
