Join us on this week’s episode of Discover the Word as we continue to journey through our study and see the loving guidance He gives helps us to live more on purpose for Him.
God’s people focused on the Law for thousands of years. Then suddenly, Jesus seemed to have a very different way of looking at it. So why did God establish the Law in the first place? In this chapter, you’ll consider the role of the Old Testament Law and how Jesus ultimately fulfilled it.
Progress is rarely a steady, upward climb. But if you slide downward for too long, you’ll end up right back where you started! In this chapter, you’ll see why Paul was so frustrated with the Galatians, who seemed to be taking a major step backward in their relationship with God.
As a young adult, you probably had teachers and family members tell you to “follow your passion.” That’s great advice . . . unless your passion is misplaced. In this chapter, you’ll find out what misguided passions threatened to lead the Galatians away from the gospel message.
For centuries, the Israelites tried to earn God’s favor by following the Law. So when Jesus established a new covenant based on grace, not works, many Jews struggled to adapt. In this chapter, you’ll hear an allegory Paul used to show how grace triumphs over the Law.
It seems rather fruitless to spend your life trying to earn something that you can get for free, doesn’t it? In this chapter, you’ll reaffirm what the apostle Paul has been teaching throughout his letter to the Galatians . . . that salvation is a free gift from God.
