The Galatian believers were in danger of being led astray by a false gospel that essentially suggested a salvation made possible through human effort. The Apostle Paul condemned such lifeless externalism and promoted instead the necessity of being made a new creature in Christ. Alistair Begg reminds us of the inward, spiritual nature of true Christianity reflected in lives transformed by the power of the cross.
11See with what large letters I am writing to you jwith my own hand. 12kIt is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh lwho would force you to be circumcised, and only min order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14But far be it from me to boast nexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which2 the world ohas been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15For pneither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but qa new creation. 16And as for all who walk by this rule, rpeace and mercy be upon them, and upon sthe Israel of God.
17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18tThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be uwith your spirit, brothers. Amen.
