Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 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.

This plan will explore what the letter of Galatians teaches us in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

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.

Galatians was written as a strong rebuke of false teaching that infiltrated the churches in Galatia. Paul’s central argument reaffirms the foundation of the gospel: “a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ” (Galatians 2:16). Galatians reminds us to walk in the freedom of the true, untainted gospel and warns us against submitting again to the slavery of works-based salvation.

Drawing on James Spencer's book titled Useful to God: Eight Lessons from the Life of D. L. Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.

Throughout this study, Paul is encouraging us to stay in step with the Spirit and follow the way of Jesus. Don't go your own way—that never works. Rather, we'll look at how Scripture impacts our lives, and why it matters so much to move toward it and live in pursuit of Christ.

There are growing, ungodly opinions of how our churches and Christian communities should conduct themselves. There’s a lot of misdirection. Young adults give the impression that they are unsure of what is morally correct. Many fellow Christians wish to take the easy road by staying quiet; regardless of their loudly protesting and discerning thoughts. The world desperately needs Christian mavericks to lead the way, without fear, and with sound advice. This devotional is written to encourage Christians to be Mavericks for Christ and to stand for what is right without fear of having an unpopular opinion.

Join Charles Spurgeon for this 13-day devotional through the book of Galatians, featuring notes and commentary from the CSB Spurgeon Study Bible. “He is not far from understanding the gospel theme in all its ramifications, its outlets and its branches, who can properly tell the difference between law and grace.” —C. H. Spurgeon

God intends for each of us to live free! This study is designed to help you explore this profound reality. As you explore the book of Galatians, you will encounter incredible truths such as, “for freedom Christ has set us free,” and “you were called to freedom.”

Take 18 days and study the letter to the Christians in Galatia from the Apostle Paul. In this six chapter book, the Apostle Paul points out the false belief that better behavior makes you a better Christian, and reminds all of us of the truth of the Gospel message.

Paul wrote a letter to the Galatians because he was very concerned about their spiritual well-being. They were in danger of straying from the right path, and Paul goes to great lengths to keep them from that. His explanations and advice are still extremely relevant today!
