In Galatians, Paul wants us to   know the Gospel is all we need for all our lives—past, present, future   and everything in between. 

The Gospel is all we need for our unity with God. The   Galatians were not at risk of missing the Gospel by refusing to obey   God. They were at risk of missing the Gospel by relying on their own   obedience to God. 

They needed to hear what we need to hear. Jesus not only died as the   perfect substitute for our sins; He also lived as the perfect  substitute  for our righteousness. Our sins are pinned to Christ, and His righteousness is imputed to us. 

This frees us to obey Him as His dearly loved children who have His   favor, by His grace; not as His insecure, fearful servants, still   seeking His favor by our works.

The Gospel is all we need for our obedience to God. Galatians   beautifully shows us how God not only sent His son to save us, but  also  His Spirit to dwell in us, seal us in Christ and empower us to  obey  Him.

The Gospel is truly all we need for all our lives. May it lift you,   fill you, encourage you and empower you as you read through this   glorious testimony of the sufficiency of the Gospel in uniting us to  God  as His children.

Each reading of Galatians is paired with a selection from the psalms, the prayer-book of the Bible.
