Galatians 4:12

Jesus Christ has a right to be God’s heir and to receive the inheritance. We do not. We enjoy this wonderful prospect and promise only by God’s grace. It is only because He has brought us into His family that we are joint-heirs with Christ.

People today love to talk about identity. Who am I? How should I view myself? How should I relate to the world around me? As Christians, we cannot talk long about our identity without pointing to the work of God on us, the relationship we have with him, and the purpose he has for us. The biblical understanding of human self-identity is radically God-centered.

Are you caught up in doing good deeds, but missing the gospel of faith? Are you feeling discouraged by faith based in works? Paul addresses this exact issue in Galatians and explores the foundational truth of the freedom of faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians offers a celebration of the freedom of grace and re-centers your focus on the law of love in God in three parts: the gospel of grace defined, the gospel of grace examined and the gospel of grace applied. 

Some people are hard to love. And those relationships require extra grace! Learn from these five real examples of how God’s people have loved as Christ loves. May God’s Word and these real stories of children around the world change how you view people and how to show love to them.
