Reading Galatians

Another Pauline letter, with this one most likely being the first Paul ever wrote. This letter focuses on one of the key issues facing the early Acts church, which was the combination of Jewish and Gentile believers. Obviously, Peter spearheaded this movement, but Paul was integrally involved as well, at times reminding Peter of the basis behind this belief.

Paul starts the letter by describing his conversion experience, stating that key to this was a real Gospel presentation. An authentic gospel message has the power to change any person's life. But a fake gospel message can ruin any person's life. That gospel is the most important thing in a Christian's life, one that we should strive to protect.

The gospel is also one of the most powerful things in a Christian's life, and shouldn't be limited to only certain people. It's power stretches worldwide, and its transformation potential cannot be held back. The church must realize this truth, and live accordingly.
